Ambient Field Enhancement Hypothesis (AFEH): An Agnostic Evaluation of Candidate Sources for the Electric Field Required by TACD

This note introduces the Ambient Field Enhancement Hypothesis (AFEH), a companion evaluation that addresses one item the Topography-Anchored Corona Discharge (TACD) model leaves open by design: TACD requires an ambient electric field above a site-dependent threshold to drive coro...

TOPOGRAPHY-ANCHORED CORONA DISCHARGE (TACD): AN AGNOSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL MODEL FOR ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LUMINESCENCE

This preprint presents the Topography-Anchored Corona Discharge (TACD) model, a quantitative framework for faint, stationary luminescence anchored to ground features under non-storm conditions. In the model, wind-driven triboelectric charging of aerosols builds a net space charge...
