Study of the total lightning activity in a hailstorm [PDF]
Atmospheric Research, 2009 A thunderstorm which developed in North-Eastern region of Spain on 16th June, 2006 is analyzed. This thunderstorm could be severe because it produced hailstones larger than 19 mm. The cell life time was 3h 30 minutes. Radar cross-sections show a strong vertical development with cloud tops reaching an altitude of 13 km.

Area‐average rainfall and lightning activity [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1997 The aim of the paper is to discuss the statistical relations between the average rainfall parameters for an ensemble of convective cells and the mean lightning occurrence inside this area. The study is based on a data set gathered in France using C and S band radars and two different lightning detection networks.
