Journal ArticleDOI
Production of lightning NOx and its vertical distribution calculated from three‐dimensional cloud‐scale chemical transport model simulations
Lesley Ott,Kenneth E. Pickering,Georgiy L. Stenchikov,Georgiy L. Stenchikov,Dale J. Allen,Alex J. DeCaria,Brian A. Ridley,Ruei-Fong Lin,Stephen Lang,Wei-Kuo Tao +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) cloud-scale chemical transport model that includes a parameterized source of lightning NOx on the basis of observed flash rates has been used to simulate six midlatitude and subtropical thunderstorms observed during four field projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lightning-generated NOX and its impact on tropospheric ozone production: A three-dimensional modeling study of a Stratosphere- Troposphere Experiment: Radiation, Aerosols and Ozone (STERAO-A) thunderstorm
TL;DR: Stenchikov et al. as discussed by the authors used a three-dimensional cloud-scale chemical transport model to simulate trace gas transport, lightning NO production, and photochemical ozone production in the 12 July 1996 storm observed during the Stratosphere-Troposphere Experiment: Radiation, Aerosols and Ozone (STERAO-A) field experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cloud‐scale model study of lightning‐generated NO x in an individual thunderstorm during STERAO‐A
Alex J. DeCaria,Kenneth E. Pickering,Georgiy L. Stenchikov,John R. Scala,Jeffrey L. Stith,James E. Dye,Brian A. Ridley,Pierre Laroche +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a two-dimensional cloud model that includes a parameterized source of lightning-generated NOx to study the production and advection of NOx associated with a developing northeast Colorado thunderstorm observed on July 12, 1996, during the Stratosphere-Troposphere Experiment-Radiation, Aerosols, Ozone (STERAO-A) field campaign.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace gas transport and scavenging in PEM‐Tropics B South Pacific Convergence Zone convection
Kenneth E. Pickering,Anne M. Thompson,Hyun-cheol Kim,Alex J. DeCaria,Alex J. DeCaria,Leonhard Pfister,Tom Kucsera,Jacquelyn C. Witte,Melody A. Avery,Donald R. Blake,James H. Crawford,Brian G. Heikes,Glen W. Sachse,Scott T. Sandholm,Robert W. Talbot +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model is used to quantify three critical processes in global and regional transport: convective mixing, lightning NOx production, and wet scavenging of soluble species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of the fine structure of the 12 July 1996 Stratosphere‐Troposphere Experiment: Radiation, Aerosols and Ozone (STERAO‐A) storm accounting for effects of terrain and interaction with mesoscale flow
Georgiy L. Stenchikov,Kenneth E. Pickering,Alex J. DeCaria,Alex J. DeCaria,W.-K. Tao,John R. Scala,Lesley Ott,Diana L. Bartels,Thomas Matejka +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D simulation of the 12 July 1996 STERAO-A storm was performed using the Goddard Cloud Ensemble (GCE) model to better understand the role of terrain and mesoscale circulation in the development of a midlatitude deep convective system.
