Multi-station probing of thunderstorm-generated D-layer fluctuations by using time-domain lightning waveforms

Electrical thunderstorm nowcasting using lightning data mining

This paper presents a study developed at SIMEPAR (Paraná state weather service) using lightning data for electrical thunderstorm nowcasting. Thunderstorm electrical data collected at SIMEPAR such as lightning location, time of occurrence, current intensity, polarity, etc, are stored in real-time in a relational database. As a first step of this study, Microsoft Business Intelligence bundled wit...

Characteristics of Lightning Discharges and Electric Structure of Thunderstorm

Progresses in the research on physical processes of lightning discharge and electric structure of thunderstorm in the last decade in China have been reviewed. By using the self-developed lightning detecting and locating techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution, the characteristics and parameters of lightning discharge in some representative areas in China have been obtained. Observa...

Derivation of Thunderstorm Ice Hydrometeor Characteristics from Lightning Measurements

Previous calculations (Blyth et al., 2001) predicting that the lightning frequency f is proportional to the product of the downflux p of solid precipitation (graupel) and the mass upflux I of ice crystals, have been subjected to preliminary examination by analyzing data from the STERAO experiment. The analysis has yielded provisional support for this flux hypothesis. The physical reasons for su...
