| Summary: | activity. These data will then be combined with the cloud- average magnitude of 0.300 for all storms studied. This says benefit the authorities that are served by the WSR-88Ds. In correlation of flashes to the dBZ gradients occurring for the dBZ values present during each scan, the second is the from Houston, Texas during the spring of 1993 for squall line generated. The first is the correlation of flashes to the If the National Weather Service could forecast the lines is highly variable in relation to the three factors occurrences of cloud-toground lightning strikes, it would scan, and finally the flashes to radial velocity gradient studied. This supports other research that has been done that suggested that this may be true. that the lightning that is occurring for spring Texas squall the scan time. Three sets of linear correlations will be this thesis I will examine the WSR-88D level 11 archive data to-ground lightning that occurred within the six minutes of will be correlated. The correlations were always below an |
