Radar and Lightning Observations of Normal and Inverted Polarity Multicellular Storms from STEPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study discusses radar and lightning observations of two multicellular storms observed during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study. The Lightning Mapping Array data indicated that the charge ...
Radar and Lightning Observations of the 3 June 2000 Electrically Inverted Storm from STEPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study addresses the kinematic, microphysical, and electrical evolution of an isolated convective storm observed on 3 June 2000 during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study field campaign. ...
The 29 June 2000 Supercell Observed during STEPS. Part II: Lightning and Charge Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This second part of a two-part study examines the lightning and charge structure evolution of the 29 June 2000 tornadic supercell observed during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS). ...
The 29 June 2000 Supercell Observed during STEPS. Part I: Kinematics and Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is a two-part study that addresses the kinematic, microphysical, and electrical aspects of a severe storm that occurred in western Kansas on 29 June 2000 observed during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and ...
The Electrical Structure of Two Supercell Storms during STEPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Balloon soundings were made through two supercell storms during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) in summer 2000. Instruments measured the vector electric field, temperature, pressure, ...
Supercells and Sprites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over a decade of monitoring mesospheric transient luminous events (TLEs) above U.S. high plains storms confirmed sprites are almost exclusively associated with positive polarity cloud-to-ground lightning (+CGs). Following ...
