A Climatology of Thunderstorms across Europe from a Synthesis of Multiple Data Sources

Journal of Climate, 2019
The climatology of (severe) thunderstorm days is investigated on a pan-European scale for the period of 1979–2017. For this purpose, sounding measurements, surface observations, lightning data from ZEUS (a European-wide lightning detection system) and ...

Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Thunderstorms and Strong Winds with Characteristics of Lightning and Convective Activities in the South China Sea

应用气象学报, 2023
Using the cloud top data provided by Fengyun-4A (FY-4A) multi-channel scanning imaging radiometer (AGRI) and lightning observations provided by the ground-based global lightning positioning network (WWLLN) during 2019-2020, combined with the ...

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.

Searching for effects caused by thunderstorms in midlatitude sporadic E layers [PDF]

, 2017
Possible thunderstorm - sporadic E (Es) layer coupling effects are investigated during two measurement periods, one in 2013 and one in 2014. The analysis was based on ionospheric observations obtained from a Digisonde at Pruhonice, the Czech Republic, an

Frequency of severe thunderstorms across Europe expected to increase in the 21st century due to rising instability

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2019
We show that the frequency of damaging convective weather events including lightning, hail and severe wind gusts will likely increase over Europe until the end of this century.

Fast negative breakdown in thunderstorms

Nature Communications, 2019
Thunderstorms are natural laboratories for studying electrical discharges in air, where the vast temporal, spatial, and energy scales available can spawn surprising phenomena that reveal deficiencies in our understanding of dielectric breakdown.

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 ...

Characterisation of Thunderstorms with Multiple Lightning Jumps

Atmosphere, 2022
Several works have shown that lightning jumps are precursors of severe weather in deep-convective thunderstorms. Since 2017, the Meteorological Service of Catalonia has operationally run an algorithm that identifies lightning jumps (LJs) in real time. It

Electromagnetic atmosphere-plasma coupling: the global atmospheric electric circuit [PDF]

, 2011
A description is given of the global atmospheric electric circuit operating between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. Attention is drawn to the huge range of horizontal and vertical spatial scales, ranging from 10−9 m to 1012 m, concerned with the ...
