英文摘要 | The atmospheric boundary layer considered a part of the planetary global electric circuit is known to exhibit a most dramatically changing in space and time atmospheric electrical variables. Extremely low specific electrical conductivity in the lower atmosphere is accompanied by the work of the electric generator associated with turbulent dynamo realizing itself through the space charge transport by boundary layer flows. The electromotive force of this generator acting in fair weather atmospheric regions provides a contribution to the global potential drop between the lower ionosphere and the earth's surface. In this study, the vertical electric current density produced by the turbulent transfer of space charge is investigated in the cases of the buoyancy-dominated and shear-dominated convective boundary layer (CBL) over the oceans based on second-order dissipation-conditioned Lagrangian stochastic model (LSM) applied near air-sea interface and conjugated with first-order LSM in the rest of the CBL. The total electric charge flux is treated in terms of mechanical transfer of atmospheric ions and charged aerosol particles by Lagrangian turbulence together with the drift of small ions in the self-consistent electric field. This approach based on a transported probability density function method offers persuasive advantages for quantitative estimates of local perturbations in the fair-weather electric field created by the atmospheric space charge carried by turbulent flows. It is found that the space charge density vertical profile only slightly depends on turbulence everywhere except for the wavy boundary layer about 10 m thick, a new parameterization of space charge vertical profile is proposed. Based on the simulation results, it can be predicted that in the buoyancy-dominated CBLs the electric field must be greater than in the sheared CBLs with other things being equal. Turbulent electromotive force and changes in total downward atmospheric electric current density are quantified. Simulated vertical profiles of electrical conductivity, space charge, electric field, and turbulent current density reasonably well reproduce previously reported observation results. |
