Various components that determine the drift velocity uamb, calculated for Experiment 2. Left column: ratio |B|2/ρ2. Middle column: maps of . Right column: inverse of the characteristic length of the magnetic field, only in places where ηamb >  1013 cm2 s−1. Two isocontours for ηamb are superimposed in the left and middle column panels as green lines (1013 cm2 s−1) and blue lines (1015 cm2 s−1). The velocity field due to the ambipolar diffusion uamb (see Eq. (14)) is also shown in those two columns with red arrows only in regions where ηamb >  1013 cm2 s−1. Additionally, dashed lines indicate the location of the solar surface (line at z = 0 Mm) and of the transition region (isocontour at T = 105 K). An animation of this figure is available online.
