Session 1 Lightning and Cloud Processes: Microphysics, Electrification, Thunderstorm Kinematics, Dynamics, and Lightning I

Monday, 13 January 2025: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Host: 12th Conference on the Meteorological Application of Lightning Data
Submitters:
Elizabeth A. DiGangi, PhD, Earth Networks Inc. and Michael J. Peterson
Chairs:
Sarah M. Stough and Kristin M. Calhoun

Lightning is often used to proxy changes in thunderstorm intensification, microphysics, kinematics, and dynamics. This session aims to discuss updates on how lightning data are used in conjunction with other meteorological datasets to answer research questions focused on relating lightning properties to changes in a storm's environment for research and operational objectives.
