Mechanisms of charge transfer between colliding ice particles in thunderstorms / M.B. Baker, J.G. Dash.
Title: | Mechanisms of charge transfer between colliding ice particles in thunderstorms / M.B. Baker, J.G. Dash. |
Author(s): | Baker, M. B. Dash, J. G. |
Date: | 1994. |
In: | Journal of Geophysical Research. (1994.), Vol. 99(D5) (1994) |
Abstract: | Derives theoretical mechanism for charge transfer between colliding ice and soft hail particles, based on ideas of surface melting. According to this theory, each ice surface is covered with film of quasi-liquid water, whose thickness can be estimated as function of temperature and local curvature. Shows that, during contact of two particles, fluid will flow from thicker to thinner layer, and volume transferred in atmospherically relevant situations can be estimated. |
Notes: | Journal of Geophysical Research. Vol. 99(D5) :10, 621-10, 626 (1994). |
