This review of urban lightning research begins with a description of cloud‐to‐ground flash
data and some of the conditioning practices related to their use. Urban lightning studies from …

In this study, rainfall variability in the Bei**g metropolitan region and its link to urbanization
during the first 10 years of the twenty-first century (2000–09) was examined. Analyses are …

Abstract On January 19, 2011, an unusual weather event occurred. The National Weather

The objective of this study is to characterize the climatology of extreme rainfall and flash
flooding in Atlanta, Georgia using high‐resolution land surface, rainfall, and discharge …

Accurate records of high‐resolution rainfall fields are essential in urban hydrology, and are
lacking in many areas. We develop a high‐resolution (15 min, 1 km2) radar rainfall data set …

Coupling of urban land use land cover (LULC) and aerosol loading on rainfall around cities
in the Gangetic Basin (GB) is examined here. Long‐term observations illustrate more rainfall …

This study explores how the Atlanta, Georgia (United States), urban region influences warm-
season (May through September) cloud-to-ground lightning flashes and precipitation. Eight …

Abstract Within the Charlotte, North Carolina, to Atlanta, Georgia, megaregion (Charlanta),
the Atlanta metropolitan area has been shown to augment proximal cloud‐to‐ground (CG) …

Precipitation variability and water cycle changes affect many components of the Earth's
natural and human system. Further, it is clear that natural and anthropogenic activities can …

We characterized the differences in warm-season weekday and weekend aerosol conditions
and cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes (1995–2008) for an 80,000 square kilometer region …
