Automated Lightning Flash Detection in Nighttime Visible Satellite Data
The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) nighttime visible channel was designed to detect earth–atmosphere features under conditions of low illumination (e.g., near the solar terminator or via moonlight reflection). However, this sensor also detects visible light emissions from various terrestrial sources (both natural and anthropogenic), including l...
متن کاملRelationship between lightning-storm characteristics, and both power and rate of lightning-discharge RF emissions observed by FORTE
Prior studies have noted a strongly nonlinear enhancement of lightning flash rates with increasing cloud height. Here we report a related observation, of a tendency for increased intracloud (IC)-discharge radioemission power versus increased height of the electrified cloud. We find that there is a strong statistical increase of effective radiated power (ERP, or isotropic peak power radiated fro...
متن کاملLightning Sensors for Observing, Tracking and Nowcasting Severe Weather
Severe and extreme weather is a major natural hazard all over the world, oftenresulting in major natural disasters such as hail storms, tornados, wind storms, flash floods,forest fires and lightning damages. While precipitation, wind, hail, tornados, turbulence,etc. can only be observed at close distances, lightning activity in these damaging stormscan be monitored at all spatial scales, from l...
متن کاملRadar and lightning analyses of gigantic jet-producing storms
[1] An analysis of thunderstorm environment, structure, and evolution associated with six gigantic jets (five negative polarity, one positive) was conducted. Three of these gigantic jets were observed within detection range of very high frequency lightning mapping networks. All six were within range of operational radars and two-dimensional lightning network coverage: five within the National L...
متن کاملJoint radio and optical observations of the most radio-powerful intracloud lightning discharges
The most radio-powerful intracloud lightning emissions are associated with a phenomenon variously called “narrow bipolar events” or “compact intracloud discharges”. This article examines in detail the coincidence and timing relationship between, on the one hand, the most radio-powerful intracloud lightning events and, on the other hand, optical outputs (or lack thereof) of the same discharge pr...
