Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Narrow bipolar events (NBEs) are often generated in overshooting thunderclouds (OT) penetrating the stratosphere. However, how and under what conditions OT produces such discharges remains unclear. With 3‐year lightning observations and simultaneous cloud top brightness temperature measurements over South China, we developed a more accurate OT

Thunderstorm vertical velocities and mass flux estimated from satellite data [PDF]
Infrared geosynchronous satellite data with an interval of five minutes between images are used to estimate thunderstorm top ascent rates on two case study days. A mean vertical velocity of 3.5/ms for 19 clouds is calculated at a height of 8.7 km.

Interactions Between Convective Storms and Their Environment [PDF]
The ways in which intense convective storms interact with their environment are considered for a number of specific severe storm situations. A physical model of subcloud wind fields and vertical wind profiles was developed to explain the often observed ...

Initiation of non-tropical thunderstorms by solar activity [PDF]
Correlative evidence accumulating since 1926 suggests that there must be some physical coupling mechanism between solar activity and thunderstorm occurrence in middle to high latitudes.

Solar modulation of atmospheric electrification through variation of the conductivity over thunderstorms [PDF]
It is suggested that variations of the current in the global atmospheric electrical circuit can be produced through regulation of the resistance between the tops of thunderclouds and the ionosphere.

Vorticity imbalance and stability in relation to convection [PDF]
A complete synoptic-scale vorticity budget was related to convection storm development in the eastern two-thirds of the United States. The 3-h sounding interval permitted a study of time changes of the vorticity budget in areas of convective storms ...

Some economic benefits of a synchronous earth observatory satellite [PDF]
An analysis was made of the economic benefits which might be derived from reduced forecasting errors made possible by data obtained from a synchronous satellite system which can collect earth observation and meteorological data continuously and on demand.
