Lightning scaling relations revisited

Lightning scaling relations revisited

Scaling relations connecting storm electrical generator power (and hence lightning flash rate) to charge transport velocity and storm geometry were originally posed by Vonnegut in the 1960s. These were later simplified to yield simple parameterizations for lightning based upon cloud-top height, with...

Zusammenfassung:Scaling relations connecting storm electrical generator power (and hence lightning flash rate) to charge transport velocity and storm geometry were originally posed by Vonnegut in the 1960s. These were later simplified to yield simple parameterizations for lightning based upon cloud-top height, with separate parameterizxations derived over land and ocean.
