Session 7 Applications of Lightning and Storm Electrification to Modeling and Data Assimilation

Tuesday, 14 January 2025: 1:45 PM-3:00 PM
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:
Yichen Cai, SUNY Albany, Albany, NY and Jacquelyn Ringhausen, University of Alabama in Huntsville, ATS, Huntsville, AL

This session is focused on advances in atmospheric and climate modeling related to lightning and storm electrification. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1) explicit simulations of lightning and storm electrification, 2) the assimilation of lightning data into convective models; and 3) lightning parameterizations for global models and climate models.
