Object-based analysis of simulated thunderstorms in Switzerland: application and validation of automated thunderstorm tracking with simulation data [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2021
We present a feasibility study for an object-based method to characterise thunderstorm properties in simulation data from convection-permitting weather models.

Dynamic Modeling of Power Outages Caused by Thunderstorms

Forecasting, 2020
Thunderstorms are complex weather phenomena that cause substantial power outages in a short period. This makes thunderstorm outage prediction challenging using eventwise outage prediction models (OPMs), which summarize the storm dynamics over the entire ...

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

Heuristic Model to Compute Indices for Classification of Incidence and Non-Incidence of Thunderstorms Over Ranchi With Atmospheric Parameter

IEEE Access, 2021
Prediction of incidences of thunderstorms using different techniques is quite well established. To add to this knowledge, in this paper, a heuristic equation is proposed which relates the correlation coefficient of atmospheric parameters with the number ...

Thunderstorm Activity over the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Indicated by the Combined Data of the FY-2E Geostationary Satellite and WWLLN

Remote Sensing, 2022
Thunderstorm activity over the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has important climatic effects and disaster impacts. Using the thunderstorm feature dataset (TFD) established based on the black body temperature (TBB) and cloud classification (CLC) products of ...

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 ...

Weather Radar in Complex Orography

Remote Sensing, 2022
Applications of weather radar data to complex orography are manifold, as are the problems. The difficulties start with the choice of suitable locations for the radar sites and their construction, which often involves long transport routes and harsh ...

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
