As a core element of weather and climate change research, convective clouds have
complex physical structures and dynamic processes, and knowledge of their evolution is …

The paper aims to highlight the contrasting inter-seasonal variability of raindrop size
distribution (DSD) as observed over Mumbai (representing a coastal city) and …

Diurnal variation of convective storms (CSs) during monsoon season and associated
physical mechanisms are significantly important for accurate forecast of short-time and …

Macrophysical and microphysical features of clouds and precipitation at coastal [20 m above
Mean Sea Level (MSL)] and high‐altitude cloud physics observatory (HACPO; 1820 m …

During August 2018 and 2019 the southern state of India, Kerala, received unprecedented
heavy rainfall, which led to widespread flooding. We aim to characterize the convective …

Surface raindrop size distributions over a rain shadow region during the Indian summer
monsoon are clustered using the k‐means algorithm. The rainfall for five dominant clusters …

Many studies of cloud electrification have suggested that the presence of precipitation in the
mixed phase region of the cloud is essential for charge separation and lightning initiation in …

The nature of raindrop size distribution (DSD) is analyzed for wet and dry spells of the Indian
summer monsoon (ISM) in the Western Ghats (WG) region using Joss–Waldvogel …

Some of the highest summer monsoon rainfall in South Asia falls on the windward slopes of
the Western Ghats mountains on India's west coast and offshore over the eastern Arabian …

In the present work, a statistical understanding of cloud base height (CBH) behavior over a
high-altitude site (Mahabaleshwar, 17.92° N, 73.66° E, and 1348 m above mean sea level) …
