This is with the full agreement with me (in fundamentals).
It is not easy to read, with the understanding, the electric schemes
(diagrams).

Look at the page 3. The arrows represent the currents. So the electrons flow
in opposite direction. So in sunny day they migrate up. Very up (18 km at
equator).
The next symbols are the "+" and "-". What they means on this scheme.
Electrons migrate very up, but always on the droplets of water (heavy ions),
so in the air is the excess of electrons if there are the heavy ions. But
what the voltage is there?
You remember: small drops - smal voltage (Kelvin's drops generator). Next
cooling and condensation take place and larger droplets fall down. But on
the larger drops the voltage is higher.
The "+" and "-" on electric schemes are use to indicate the direction of the
current flow. Electrons flow from "-" to "+". No matter how many electrons
is.
But that everywhere in the atmosphere is excess of electrons should be
obvious for you now. You know that on the surface of the Earth is also
always the excess of electrons. But the current flow " if the difference of
voltage exists".

Not elecricians think that "-" indicate the excess of electrons and "+" the
deficit. Such is in physics.
The scheme on the page 3 was drawn by electricians.
Do you agree? (Richard asks: get it?)
