Analysis of the Variations in the Lightning Activity of a Hail Process (August 19, 2015, the North Caucasus)
摘要
Abstract
The spatiotemporal distribution of the lightning activity radar characteristics and parameters for two supercells with a lifetime of more than 10 hours in the North Caucasus on August 19, 2015 is analyzed. It has been shown that despite similar radar characteristics of clouds, there were significant differences in the parameters of the supercell lightning activity. The data on variations in the types of lightnings, their polarity and current characteristics are interpreted in terms of their diagnostic and prognostic potential. The need for further studies on the spatiotemporal structure of the electrically active zones of deep convective clouds is considered.
