Fig. 3

Sketch of the interplay of CR streaming and turbulent advection for a single flux tube in a stratified atmosphere with gravity pointing downwards. Left: the dense CR at the center stream along the tube towards the CR depleted regions at larger atmospheric height. Middle: CR streaming stops as soon as a homogeneous CR space density is achieved. A turbulent eddy (represented by its angular momentum axis) starts to turn the magnetic structure upside down. Right: the former outer parts of the flux tubes are compressed at the center, and harbor now an overdense CR population, whereas the former inner parts are expanded at larger atmospheric scale height and therefore have now an underdense CR population. Again CR streaming sets in.
