| description abstract | Radar maps of precipitation at a height of 6 km have been studied for the thunderstorms of one July day. Regions on these maps within which the intensity level exceeds 30 dBZ (corresponding to a rainfall rate of 2.8 mm h?1) represent thunderstorms, some single-celled and some multi-celled. These were found to be the sources of lightning observed (as ?sferics?) by a radio direction finder, frequency 100±50 kHz, located at the radar. The sferics rates of the storms were related closely to other storm parameters by L = 2.7A1.64r?1.62,where L is the number of sferics observed per minute, r the distance of the storm (km), and A the area (km2) of the storm region as specified above. This study supports the findings of Larsen and Stansbury for an earlier day (J. Atmos. Terr. Phys., 1974, 36, 1547?1553) and adds the algebraic relation. | |
