(2018-10-09)Satellite aerosol retrievals, ground-based radar and lightning detections, and model simulations are used to study the impact of aerosols on lightning and the usefulness of knowing the aerosol state in predicting enhanced ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)A comparison of flash parameters from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) is made with data obtained from the Houston Lightning Detection and Ranging II (LDAR) network. This research focuses on relating the ...
