Abstract: AbstractThis work evaluates numerous thunderstorm predictors and investigates the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for identifying occurrences of thunderstorms in reanalysis data. Environmental conditions favorable ...

Abstract: method is developed to quantify thunderstorm intensity according to cloud-to-ground lightning flashes (hereafter ground flashes) determined by a lightning-location sensor network. The method is based on the ground flash ...

Abstract: onvective storms cause several types of damage, including economic and ecological losses, every year. This paper focuses on an automatic hazard-level determination of convective storms based on a largely unused information ...
