African convective systems have been tracked over the period July to December 2004. A total of 82,140 Convective Systems (CSs) were identified, of which 52% were classified as thunderstorms (i.e., containing Cloud-to-Ground (CG) lightning flashes), and 48% as rain showers (i.e., without CG flashes). The properties of the CSs at different stages of life maturity are investigated in terms of CG lightning...
Convective systems are tracked for two summer months over the continental USA and their properties at different stages of life are investigated in terms of Cloud to Ground (CG) lightning flashes, cloud kinematics, and precipitation. The study employs lightning data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) along with 1/2-hourly satellite Infrared observations, and hourly rainfall accumulation...
