地闪回击通道几何结构对VLF/VHF辐射场特征的影响

云地闪电回击通道分叉或者曲折引起的电流传播方向改变可以在回击辐射波形上面引入一系列次峰结构乃至影响其VHF辐射特征。本文用回击传输线模式探讨了回击通道几何结构对回击VLF／VHF辐射场的影响，结果显示：(1)VLF信号波形次峰幅度与通道片断的尺度以及取向有关，尺度为100m量级且具有较大的垂直分量的电流变化过程可以在回击波形下降沿上面引入与回击幅度相当的次峰结构，而小尺度(1m量级或者更小)的通道曲折在回击波形上面引入的次峰幅度只有回击主峰幅度的10％以下。水平方向的电流传播过程几乎不在回击波形上面产生可以辨别的次峰结构。曲折通道的所有曲折片段的平均长度是描述曲折通道的一个重要参数，次峰时间间隔与幅度均与平均曲折尺度成正相关。(2)曲折通道能够明显增加回击高频辐射分量的能量，出现最大辐射能量增加的频率相当．于波长等于曲折尺度的电磁波频率的1／8。小尺度的曲折或者分叉结构能够使得回击高频分量的强度提升一个数量级，但是这一强度的增加仍比我们实际测量的VHF辐射强度小一个数量级，说明通道曲折和分叉很可能不是回击过程VHF辐射产生的主要原因。

土壤湿度对不规则起伏地表雷电垂直电场传播影响的研究

本文采用二维fractional Brown motion(f Bm)随机分形界面模拟不规则起伏地表,基于Longmire-Scott提出的土壤电参数等效模型(L-S模型),分析研究不规则起伏地表的土壤湿度对地闪回击垂直电场传播的影响。结果表明:(1)地表的不规则起伏程度主要会引起垂直电场峰值的衰减和上升沿时间的滞后。随着地表不规则起伏程度的增大,垂直电场峰值衰减越明显,且波形上升沿时间增长。(2)无论地表不规则程度如何,随着土壤湿度的增大,垂直电场的衰减反而减小。(3)总的来说,地表的不规则程度越大,土壤湿度越小,垂直电场的峰值衰减越大,波头上升沿时间越长。

Assessment of the total lightning flash rate density (FRD) in northeast Brazil (NEB) based on TRMM orbital data from 1998 to 2013

The Northeast region of Brazil (NEB) concentrates on average 18 % of the total deaths associated with lightning strikes in Brazil. When considering population, the state of Piauí had the highest mortality rate in the region (1.8 deaths million⁻¹), much higher than the national rate (0.8) and the NEB rate (0.5). This work aimed to evaluate the space-time distribution of total lightning (intracloud, cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground) in NEB, covering the period from 1998 to 2013. For this purpose, we used data from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, which provided information on the occurrence of total lightning, and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) sensor aboard on TERRA satellite, which provided the terrain elevation data to verify the influence of topography on the flash rate density (FRD). The full distribution was used to identify the hotspots (cities with the highest FRD), while the monthly distribution helped in the cluster analysis. NEB has great spatial and temporal variability of the recorded lightning rates, with average of 0–44.5 flash km^-2 year⁻¹. The regions with high total lightning rates are located in the states of Piauí, Maranhão and west of Bahia. The topography of the region seems to act as a facilitator of the convective process, leading to the formation of intense upward currents, essential for the generation of electric charges inside thunderstorms. CAPE values showed good relationship with lightning occurrence in the region. The cluster with the highest occurrence of lightning and hotspots is in the region of influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and Mesoscale Convective Systems, suggesting an important relationship with large organized cloud systems.     

2007—2019年湖北省地闪分布特征及雷电强度等级划分

根据2007—2019年地闪监测资料,采用数理统计方法,分析湖北省闪电活动时空分布特征,融合地闪密度和雷电流强度,提出雷电强度的概念,并完成湖北省雷电强度等级划分。结果表明：湖北省以负极性闪电为主,占94.7%,平均正地闪强度为50.2 kA、负闪36.0 kA、总闪37.0 kA。闪电活动主要集中在全年的3—9月、全天的14—20时,闪电活动较弱的月份、时段发生正地闪的比例较高。正地闪强度月变化大致呈“V”型,总闪电和负地闪强度逐月波动变化。雷电流强度日变化主要呈单峰单谷型,正地闪强度09时最大,15时最小,总闪电和负地闪13—14时雷电流强度最小,05时最大。地闪密度和雷电流强度存在地域性差异,整体呈东高西低分布特征。湖北省雷电强度可划分为高、中、低3个等级,高值区主要位于湖北东部的大别山、幕阜山与江汉平原交汇地带以及湖北西部山区向江汉平原的过渡地带;湖北西南、湖北西北以及湖北个别边缘区域雷电强度等级较低;中值区主要分布在湖北中部平原一带。

火箭触发闪电通道的亮度特征分析

利用成像速率为2000幅/s的高速摄像资料,对采用不同触发方式的两次负极性闪电进行了对比分析,结果表明:空中触发方式的上行正先导的起始速度比经典触发方式的低一个量级左右,而前者的触发高度要比后者的高;闪电通道中金属导线汽化部分的余晖时间可达160—170 ms,相对来说,空气离化部分的亮度信息更能真实体现闪电通道中的电流特性。依据闪电通道亮度变化特性的差异,并结合电场变化的观测,可以将回击之后的过程分为3种类型,没有M分量的为连续衰减型,有M分量的可分为独立型和延续型两种,能够与不同类型的延续电流波形相对应。总体上看,有M分量的回击间隔比没有M分量的要长,几何平均值分别为77 ms和37 ms,有M分量的初始连续电流也会比没有M分量的持续更长的时间。回击和M分量发生前闪电通道的相对亮度存在明显的差异,回击前闪电通道的相对亮度很弱,甚至观测不到任何发光现象,而M分量发生前闪电通道仍有较强的发光。     

Description and first results of an explicit electrical scheme in a 3D cloud resolving model

The three-dimensional non-hydrostatic mesoscale model MésoNH of the French community offers the numerical environment to develop a cloud electrification scheme in a consistent way with the original mixed phase microphysical scheme. The charge separation mechanisms are entirely due to non-inductive processes and result from elastic ice–snow, ice–graupel and snow–graupel collisions. The electric charges carried by each of the five hydrometeor categories are transported along the airflow and are exchanged according to the various microphysical mass transfer rates but assuming a power law distribution of the individual charges as a function of the particle size. The electric field is diagnosed at each time step after integrating the electric potential induced by a net charge density in the Poisson equation. Finally, a lightning ash is triggered when the electric field locally steps over a given threshold. It propagates in two opposite directions until the magnitude of the electric field falls below a prescribed value. A fractal branching algorithm is then activated to extend lightning streamers away from the main channel and toward cloudy regions where substantial charge densities are present. Charges are neutralized along the tortuous lightning path with a simple procedure that preserves total charge conservation.The complete electrification scheme tested for an ideal case of vigorous supercellular storm shows an intense electrical activity all along its lifecycle. We show that the model is able to produce a direct tripolar structure of the charges as the result of a temperature charge reversal of − 10 °C and of the different sedimentation rates of the hydrometeors.
