ABSTRACT: It has been realized in recent years that the ionospheric temperature and ion density may be influenced by lightning. The ionospheric ion densities (O, O2 , H and He) and electron and ion temperatures were measured by the RPA payload aboard the Indian SROSS-C2 satellite. The data at low latitudes falling in the Indian subcontinent in the height range 425 – 625 km for the period 1995–1...

The observation, in the past, that a thunderstorm perturbed transmissions of an old vacuum tubes radio with noise discharges correspondence lightnings, suggested possibility radio-acoustic study thunderstorms. appeared to convey not only information about but also any other electromagnetic phenomena generating discharges. low-cost instrumentation involved study, comprised Telefunken mod. T33B, ...

Thunderstorms are among the most common and dangerous meteorological hazards in world. They cause lightning can lead to strong wind gusts, squall lines, hail heavy precipitation combined with flooding, therefore pose a threat health life, enormous property damage also endanger flight safety. Monitoring forecast of thunderstorms are, therefore, important topics. In this work, novel method for de...

Abstract. Meteorological environments favorable for thunderstorms are studied across Europe, including rare thunderstorm conditions from seasons with climatologically few thunderstorms. Using cluster analysis on ERA5 reanalysis data and EUCLID (European Cooperation Lightning Detection) lightning data, two major found: wind-field thunderstorms, characterized by increased wind speeds, high shear,...
