Three distinct scales dominate the role of eolian electric fields in dust turbulent transport

Abstract:Although previous studies have shown that eolian electric fields significantly alter the lifting and dynamics of dust particles, they are limited to mean fields. The effects of eolian electric fields on the dust turbulent transport have not been reported before. Here, by combing the observational data and wavelet-based spectral analysis, we find that eolian electric fields enhance the vertical turbulent transport of dust particles in the near-surface layer and exhibit three distinct crucial scales.
