Global evolution of electric fields during planet encircling dust storms on Mars

Record completeness
Claims
The simulations reveal broad storm-active belts of enhanced electrification, with the most frequent threshold exceedances occurring in southern low-to-mid latitudes and secondary activity in northern low-to-mid latitudes. Modeled near-surface electric fields reach 10^{2}--10^{3} V m^{-1} comparable to values inferred for smaller-scale dust phenomena.
The triboelectric charging and electrostatic diagnostic scheme accurately links collisional charging to the local dynamical state of the atmosphere, and that unresolved small-scale turbulent structures do not invalidate the large-scale electrification patterns predicted.
Simulations of global dust storms on Mars show near-surface electric fields reaching 100-1000 V/m, strongest in southern low-to-mid latitudes, mostly in weak discharge regimes due to conductivity changes.
