Data on streamer initiation from charged hydrometeors

This dataset contains data from a series of simulations of streamers Initiation from spherical and column hydrometeors in thundercloud fields. The corresponding simulation experiments are described in paper “Jinjin Hu, Yikai Ma, Xin Gao, and Ningyu Liu(2021) Study on Dominant Parameters Determining Streamer Initiation from Hydrometeors in Thundercloud Fields. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, doi: 10.1029/2021JD034936”. The simulation mainly investigated the three factors affecting streamers Initiation: the size of hydrometeors, the shape of hydrometeors (spherical and column), and the quantity of electric charge carried on the surface of hydrometeors (0pC, 180pC, 200pC, 300pC, 400pC). In addition, the simulation of streamers initiation at different initial electron densities is also studied. That is, this dataset includes two parts of simulated experimental data: one is the simulated data of spherical hydrometeors with different sizes and electric charges; the other is the ...
