Abstract:Thunderstorms can generate intense electrical activity, hail, and result in substantial economic and human losses. The development of very short-term forecasting tools (nowcasting) is essential to provide information to alert systems in order to mobilize most efficiently the population. However, the development of nowcasting tools depends on a better understanding of the physics and microphysics of clouds and lightning formation and evolution. In this context, the objectives of this study are: (a) to describe … Show more
