 Lightning (and corona discharge) during thunderstorm events cause atmospheric chemical reactions to take place at high voltages and high temperatures. These reactions cause the production of NO<sub>x</sub> in the atmosphere. Lightning (and corona discharge) during thunderstorm events cause atmospheric chemical reactions to take place at high voltages and high temperatures.
