Multiple environmental influences on the lightning of cold-based continental cumulonimbus clouds. Part I: Description and validation of model

Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research

In this two-part paper, influences from environmental factors on lightning in a convective storm are assessed with a model.

Description

In Part I, an electrical component is described and applied in the Aerosol-Cloud model (AC). AC treats many types of secondary (e.g., breakup in ice-ice collisions, raindrop-freezing fragmentation, rime splintering) and primary (heterogeneous, homogeneous freezing) ice initiation.

AC represents lightning flashes with a statistical treatment of branching from a fractal law constrained by video imagery.
