Abstract
The intensity of electromagnetic radiation generated by a charged drop oscillating in a uniform electrostatic field is studied within the framework of analytical calculations retaining the terms of the second order of smallness with respect to the ratio of the droplet oscillation amplitude to the droplet radius. It is found that the charge induced in the drop surface oscillations generates a dipole radiation detected in the first-order calculations and a self-charge detected with allowance for the second-order terms only. It is shown that the order of the magnitude of the total intensity of radiation generated by a cloud can be determined from small-droplet radiation. Among two radiation sources, namely, the radiation generated by small droplets oscillating at low modes and the radiation generated by hydrometeors oscillating at high modes, the first plays a dominant role.
