AE31B:
The Meteorology and Climatology of Lightning and General Contributions II Posters
Session ID#: 10278
Session Description:
In recent years, lightning observations have been increasingly related to the kinematic and microphysical evolution of thunderstorms, including the risk of severe weather. This approach has also been applied to larger storms, such as mesoscale convective systems/complexes and tropical cyclones. Moreover, lightning has been successfully used to fill gaps in the meteorological observing network, including using lightning to estimate precipitation rate and ingesting lightning observations into data assimilation schemes for numerical weather prediction. Lightning and its relationship to climate and climate change is another active area of study. All of this work has developed in concert with the growth of lightning detection networks in number, resolution, and sensitivity, and in preparation for the launch of new space-based lightning observing systems on the forthcoming GOES-R satellite as well as on the International Space Station. This session solicits abstracts describing research on any of the above topics, as well as related areas.
