Climatologies of subtropical mixing derived from 3D models
Fingerlike structures reaching from lower into extra-tropical latitudes significantly contribute to the tropical-extratropical exchange of air masses. This is also an exchange of upper tropospheric and stratospheric air. Those so called streamers can, on a horizontal plane, be detected in N2O or O3 since they are characterised by high N2O or low O3 values compared to undisturbed mid-latitude va...
متن کاملLaboratory experiments on the interaction of streamers ∗
Pictures show that streamer or sprite discharge channels emerging from the same electrode or position sometimes seem to reconnect or merge even though their heads carry electric charge of the same polarity; one might therefore suspect that reconnections are an artifact of the two-dimensional projection in the pictures. We have used stereo-photography of laboratory scale streamer discharges to i...
متن کاملEffects of spatial non‐uniformity of streamer discharges on spectroscopic diagnostics of peak electric fields in transient luminous events
[1] The electric fields associated with streamer discharges in transient luminous events (TLEs) have been recentlymeasured by considering the ratios of spatially integrated radiation intensities of band systems with different energy excitation thresholds. Following recent work by Naidis (2009) we demonstrate that due to strong spatial variations of the electron density and electric field in str...
متن کاملOn the NOx Generation in Corona, Streamer and Low Pressure Electrical Discharges
A theory developed by scientists to study nitrogen oxides, NOx, production by solar proton events shows that the NOx production rate is approximately equal to the rate of production of ion pairs during the proton impact. Since the bulk of ionization in such events is produced by secondary electron impacts, the same concept is used here to study the NOx production in low pressure discharges, cor...
متن کاملDiffuse and streamer regions of sprites
[1] The observed altitude stratification in large number of sprite events, exhibiting a sharp transition between the upper diffuse and lower streamer regions, is used in conjunction with a theoretical model to establish correspondence between sprite luminosity and the ambient mesospheric/lower ionospheric conductivity profile. The reported results provide new means for remote sensing of the low...
