Microphysics and Kinematics of a High Flash Rate Storm With a Bottom‐Heavy Charge Structure

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract An atypical thunderstorm with unusual lightning and charge structure characteristics propagated through Cordoba province, Argentina, during the austral warm season in late 2018. This storm exhibited echo tops near 10.5 km, with high lightning activity concentrated at low altitudes.

Risk zoning of lightning disaster in Hubei Province based on projection pursuit method

open access: yes暴雨灾害, 2019
Using the cloud-ground lightning locating data from 2007 to 2017 and the thunderstorm day data from 1961 to 2003 in Hubei, we selected six lightning parameters such as thunderstorm day, cloud-ground lightning density, lightning current wave-head ...

The Impact of Lightning NOx Production on Ground‐Level Ozone in Tehran

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
Lightning‐generated nitrogen oxides (LNOx) have an impact on the concentration of ground‐level ozone which acts as a toxic air pollutant, thereby negatively influencing human health and the environment.

Detection and Analysis of an Upward Jet‐Like Electrical Discharge Intercepting a High‐Altitude Research Aircraft

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract During a 2023 field campaign, a NASA ER‐2 research aircraft intercepted an upward jet‐like electrical discharge at 20 km altitude over an intense tropical thunderstorm. This event was analyzed using airborne multispectral optical sensors, electric field mills, X‐band radar, passive microwave, and ground‐based radio networks.

Dependence of Neutralized Charge Amount on Meteorological Conditions in Summertime Lightning Discharges in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Lightning discharges in Gunma Prefecture, Japan, from June–September 2023 were analyzed to explore the dependence of the neutralized charge amount on cloud structures embedded in weather systems, mainly based on in situ measurements of the ground‐based electric field, radar and satellite remote sensing, and numerical simulations using a bulk ...

How Terrain Geometry and Environmental Instability Shape Precipitation in Mountain‐Crossing Mesoscale Convective Systems

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract This study uses idealized large‐eddy simulations to systematically examine how terrain geometry and environmental instability modulate precipitation produced by a mountain‐crossing mesoscale convective system (MCS). A suite of simulations isolates the effects of base‐state convective available potential energy (CAPE), mountain width, and crest

Lightning stroke clustering into cloud-to-ground lightning flashes

open access: yes, 2014
Cloud-to-ground stroke data have been analysed for the years 2010-2012 for the Cata- lan region. These strokes have been grouped together into lightning ashes using a hierarchical clustering method, with two di erent approaches to the clustering radius, as the objective of the study was to evaluate di erent clustering methods.

Storm Structure and Lightning Characteristics of Tornado-hail-producing Supercell in Guangzhou on 27 April 2024

open access: yes应用气象学报
Due to the limited coverage of three-dimensional lightning detection networks, research on the total lightning characteristics of supercells that produce tornadoes and hail remains insufficient in China.

Thunderstorm total lightning activity behavior associated with transmission line trip events of power system

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science
High-voltage transmission lines are susceptible targets for lightning strikes. It is an interesting topic how the trip event of transmission line is related to the area, location, and intensity of thunderstorms occurring at that time and that place ...
