| Summary: | a thunderstorm. appeared in two different patterns. Thirty-one of the storms appeared to have little correlation with tomadogenesis (CG associated with long-track tornadoes, F-5 damage ratings or Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning patterns were analyzed to coincident with tornado touchdown (TYPE II). Storms exhibiting significant positive polarity were generally flash rate ranged from 0.18 - 46 min-). CG flash patterns fully characterize the electrical/dynamical relationships in identify relationships to tomadogenesis in 42 different January 1989 and November 1992. A relationship between five- may be indicative of different storm processes, but it may be minute CG flash rate tendencies and tornado formation necessary to detect intracloud flashes simultaneously to outbreak conditions. Overall CG flash rate, however, subsequent decrease until tornado formation (TYPE 1); twenty- two storms were characterized by a decrease in CG activity violent-tornado producing supercells that occurred between were characterized by a peak in CG flash rate and a |
