Jonsson, H.H. and Vonnegut, B. (1993). Miniature vortices produced by electrical corona. Journal of Geophysical Research 98: doi: 10.1029/92JD02817. issn: 0148-0227.

Laboratory experiment shows how a small whirlwind can be created under the influence of an electric field. This demonstrates one mechanism whereby a portion of the electrical energy in a thundercloud might be transformed into kinetic energy within atmospheric vortices. ¿American Geophysical Union 1993
