Differentiating lightning in winter and summer with characteristics of the wind field and mass field [PDF]
Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2022 Lightning in winter (December–January–February, DJF) is rare compared to lightning in summer (June–July–August, JJA) in central Europe north of the Alps. The conventional explanation attributes the scarcity of lightning in winter to seasonally low values

A Novel Approach for the Global Detection and Nowcasting of Deep Convection and Thunderstorms
Remote Sensing, 2022 Thunderstorms are among the most common and most dangerous meteorological hazards in the world. They cause lightning and can lead to strong wind gusts, squall lines, hail and heavy precipitation combined with flooding, and therefore pose a threat to ...
