A Thunderstorm Identification Method Combining the Area of Graupel Distribution Region and Weather Radar Reflectivity

Abstract Thunderstorm identification from weather radar data remains a fundamental problem in lightning nowcasting. In this study, a novel thunderstorm identification method combining the area of graupel distribution region and weather radar reflectivity is proposed. To optimize identification param...
