主 题:lightning activity updraft neutralized charge charging rate charge amount
摘 要:The rate of neutralized charge by lightning(RNCL) is an important parameter indicating the intensity of lightning *** total charging rate(CR),the CR of one kind of polarity(e.g.,negative) charge(CROP),and the outflow rate of charge on precipitation(ORCP) are proposed as key factors impacting RNCL,based on the principle of conservation of one kind of polarity charge in a *** this paper,the impacts of updraft on CR and CROP are analyzed by using a 3D cloud resolution model for a strong storm that occurred in Beijing on 6 September *** results show that updraft both promotes and inhibits RNCL at the same time.(1) Updraft always has a positive influence on *** correlation coefficient between the updraft volume and CR can reach *** of the updraft facilitates strengthening of RNCL through this positive influence.(2) Strengthening of the updraft also promotes reinforcement of *** correlation coefficient between the updraft volume and CROP is high(about0.9),but this promotion restrains the strengthening of RNCL because the strengthening of CROP will,most of the time,inhibit the increasing of RNCL.(3) Additionally,increasing of ORCP depresses the strengthening of *** terms of magnitude,the peak of ORCP is equal to the peak of *** precipitation mainly appears after the lightning activity finishes,the depression effect of ORCP on RNCL can be ignored during the active lightning period.
