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 ...

The Illumination of Thunderclouds by Lightning: 4. Volumetric Thunderstorm Imagery
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Optical instruments such as the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) detect lightning based on transient changes in cloud illumination. The horizontal location of lightning is determined from the coordinates of the pixels on the imaging array illuminated

The contributions of fronts, lows and thunderstorms to southern Australian rainfall
Climate Dynamics, 2020 A systematic analysis of the main weather types influencing southern Australian rainfall is presented for the period 1979–2015. This incorporates two multi-method datasets of cold fronts and low pressure systems, which indicate the more robust fronts and

Wildfire-driven thunderstorms cause a volcano-like stratospheric injection of smoke
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2018 Intense heating by wildfires can generate deep, smoke-infused thunderstorms, known as pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb), which can release a large quantity of smoke particles above jet aircraft cruising altitudes.

A Survey of Thunderstorms That Produce Megaflashes Across the Americas
Earth and Space Science, 2023 We previously observed that long‐horizontal lightning flashes exceeding 100 km in length, known as “megaflashes,” occur preferentially in certain thunderstorms.
