Modelling of thunderclouds and lightning generation on Titan

Lammer, H.; Molina-Cuberos, G. J.; Tokano, T. +1 more

The likelihood of lightning generation in Titan's troposphere is investigated by theoretical consideration and a numerical one-dimensional time-dependent thundercloud model. The main cloud electrification hypotheses proposed for terrestrial thunderstorms are examined taking into account recent knowledge concerning Titan's atmospheric state, especi…
