RISComparison of Narrow Bipolar Events with Ordinary Lightning as Proxies for Severe Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Narrow bipolar events (NBEs) are a recently studied intracloud electrical-discharge process. It is speculated that an NBE is instigated by the extensive atmospheric shower of an energetic cosmic ray. NBEs cause significant ...
Comparison of Narrow Bipolar Events with Ordinary Lightning as Proxies for the Microwave-Radiometry Ice-Scattering Signature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The narrow bipolar event (NBE) is a unique lightning discharge that has a short (?10 ?s) overall duration, lacks a prior leader phase, and produces too little light output to be visible by optical lightning detectors on ...
Initial Studies with the Lightning Detector on the C/NOFS Satellite, and Cross Validation with WWLLN
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he lightning detector (LD) on the Communications/Navigation Outage Forecast System (C/NOFS) satellite uses a pair of silicon photodiodes, viewing each flank at right angles to the satellite track over an extended field of ...
Performance Assessment of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), Using the Los Alamos Sferic Array (LASA) as Ground Truth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The World Wide Lighting Location Network (WWLLN) locates lightning globally, using sparsely distributed very low frequency (VLF) detection stations. Due to WWLLN?s detection at VLF (in this case ?10 kHz), the lightning ...
