The knowledge of the lightning-induced nitrogen oxides (LNO x) source is important for
understanding and predicting the nitrogen oxides and ozone distributions in the troposphere …

Research on regional and global lightning activity and the global electrical circuit is
summarized. This area of activity has greatly expanded through observations of lightning by …

Room-temperature drift mobilities of 4500 square centimeters per volt second for electrons
and 3800 square centimeters per volt second for holes have been measured in high-purity …

The instruments on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite have been
observing storms as well as rainfall since December 1997. This paper shows the results of a …

A full description of the ModelE version of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)
atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) and results are presented for present-day …

Reflectivity data from Doppler radars are used to construct vertical profiles of radar
reflectivity (VPRR) of convective cells in mesoscale convective systems (MCSS) in three …

Abstract Across the Tropics (20° N–20° S), the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)
Precipitation Radar (PR) indicates that for reflectivities≥ 17 dB Z, stratiform precipitation …

An algorithm has been developed to identify precipitation features (≥ 75 km 2 in size) in two
land and two ocean regions during August, September, and October 1998. It uses data from …

Four distinct meteorological regimes in the Amazon basin have been examined to
distinguish the contributions from boundary layer aerosol and convective available potential …

An investigation is conducted to document the role convectively generated cold pools play in
determining the spatial organization of tropical deep convection. Using a high-resolution …
