Abstract: Radar data, which have incomparably high temporal and spatial resolution, and lightning data, which are great indicators of severe convection, have been used to improve the initial field and increase the accuracies of nowcasting and… read more here.

Abstract: In this study, a lightning data assimilation method based on the time-lagged ensembles for predicting severe convection is presented. With the lightning data assimilation scheme, the background error covariances are computed using time-lagged ensembles, which… read more here.
