Reconstructing the electrical structure of dust storms from locally observed electric field data

Electrification is naturally generated in dust storms but its structures remain largely unknown. Here, the authors present an inversion model to reconstruct such structures based on the locally observed electric field data, showing that dust storms exhibit a three-dimensional mosaic charge pattern.
