英文摘要 | Thunderstorm ground enhancements (TGEs) are fluxes of energetic particles multiplied in thunderclouds, which may be registered by ground-based detectors. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model, the state of the atmosphere with a 1-km horizontal resolution is modeled for convective events accompanied by TGEs observed at the high altitude Aragats Research Station in Armenia (40.47 N, 44.18 E, 3,200 m above sea level). By comparing the data obtained in observations with the results of simulations using a microphysical parameterization for WRF, a technique is developed for estimating charge distribution parameters. A typical charge distribution in a TGE-producing cloud is found to be well approximated by a two-layered charge structure with a lower positive charge region formed by graupel particles and an upper negative charge region formed by snow particles. The characteristic charge density is 0.01 nC/m3 for the graupel cluster and −0.02 nC/m3 for the snow cluster. A vertical distance of about 1–2 km between the lower positive and upper negative layers is sufficient for the development of an energetic particle avalanche. © 2021. American Geophysical Union.
