The Strongest Negative Lightning Strokes in Winter Thunderstorms in Japan

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Winter thunderstorms in Japan are well known for the frequent production of energetic positive cloud‐to‐ground (CG) lightning flashes. By contrast, strong negative CG flashes or negative return strokes in winter thunderstorms are largely unknown. In this

Turbulence Characteristics of Thunderstorms Before the First Flash in Comparison to Non‐Thunderstorms

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
This study evaluates how clouds evolve into thunderstorms in terms of the turbulence characteristics producing the first flash. Observations of 57 (39) isolated thunderstorm (non‐thunderstorm) cells during 2016/2017 in Southern China are provided by an S‐

Thunderstorm asthma

Emergency Nurse, 2014
AN ASSOCIATION between asthma and thunderstorms based on retrospective data has been noted in several papers. This study, however, draws on almost-real-time, anonymised attendance data from 35 emergency departments (EDs) in the UK, and lightning-strike plots from the Met Office.

Probing vertical coupling effects of thunderstorms on lower ionosphere using GNSS data

, 2020
Thunderstorm is a complex of electrical, optical, and acoustical phenomena that occurs in the troposphere layer and liberates a huge amount of energy, which diffuses the electric field, propagates atmospheric acoustic and gravity waves into the ...

Relationship between atmospheric blocking and warm‐season thunderstorms over western and central Europe

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2019
A statistically significant link is presented between atmospheric blocking located over the eastern North Atlantic and northern Europe and warm‐season thunderstorm activity over western and central Europe.

Colored thunderstorms

Applied Optics, 2017
Three scenarios that produce colored thunderstorms are simulated. In Scenario #1, the thunderstorm's sunlit face exhibits a color gradient from white or yellow at top to red at base when the sun is near the horizon. It is simulated with a second-order scattering model as a combination of sunlight and skylight reflected from the cloud face that is ...

Climate Change and Severe Thunderstorms

Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Climate Science, 2018
The response of severe thunderstorms to a changing climate is a rapidly growing area of research. Severe thunderstorms are one of the largest contributors to global losses in excess of USD $10 billion per year in terms of property and agriculture, as ...
