To investigate further the characteristics of thunderstorms on Qinghai–Tibet plateau, a plateau vortex (PV) thunderstorm and local thermoconvective (TC) over Nagqu area are analyzed using cloud-radar, microwave-radiometer, raindrop-spectrometer data, their macrophysical microphysical evolution discussed in terms thermodynamic processes, lightning activities. The results show following. 1) cloud...

Thunderstorms are one of the most damaging natural hazards demanding in-depth understanding and prediction. These convective systems form in an unstable environment which is quantitatively expressed terms instability indices. indices studied over six locations across Indian landmass attempt to predict thunderstorm activity on any given day. A combination multiple regression, logistic range anal...

extended abstractthunderstorm rainfall is one of the most important climatic phenomena in the northwest of iran that has specific variability in spatial distribution. these rains have an important role in case study area climates. the purpose of this study is investigation of spatial distribution of thunderstorm rainfall of mountainous areas of the northwest of iran to modeling thunderstorm in ...
