Assessment of Turbulence Intensity in Different Spots of Lightning Flash Propagation

The updraft speed is correlated to the total lightning flashes a storm produces. Shear along gradients one of mechanisms responsible for production turbulence kinetic energy (TKE). Thus, radar-estimated eddy dissipation rate (EDR) overlapped with Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) data used evaluate storm's kinematic and electrical relationship. majority sampled shows higher intensities close initiation regions. As distance from increases propagation path, there gradient less turbulent We identified small-sized medium-sized initiated at lower altitudes in regions smaller EDR values consistent unmixed flow within inner part updrafts. Furthermore, were concentration small upper portion cloud high due their associated small-scale variability.
