Boundary layer anomalies observed from radiometric observations during convective rain
Rohit Chakraborty,Animesh Maitra +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, anomalous observations in relative humidity at relative humidity profiles during heavy rain have been presented, showing that the fall of relative humidity is strongly related to the characteristics of boundary layer temperature lapse rate profiles.

Lightning to rainfall ratio: a global perspective
TL;DR: In this article , a detailed analysis revealed that the lightning to rainfall ratio is prominent near the equator, followed by the horse latitudes experiencing cooler and arid conditions, however, longitudinally, these ratios peak only around large landmasses in contrast to rainfall.

Rain prediction using radiometric observations at a tropical location
Animesh Maitra,Rohit Chakraborty +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, radiometric brightness temperature measurements at Ka and V bands are utilized to predict rain event associated with impending convective processes. But the model is not able to predict both rain occurrence and rain accumulation.

Convective rain study with radiometer, radar and electric field observations at a tropical location
TL;DR: In this paper, features of convective rain in respect of liquid water content, rain rate profile, and electric field variation have been identified, and multi-frequency radiometric brightness temperatures are used to nowcast impending rain events and rain fall amount.

Nowcasting Thunderstorms: A Status Report
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the status of forecasting convective precipitation for time periods less than a few hours (nowcasting), and developed techniques for nowcasting thunderstorm location were developed in the 1960s and 1970s by extrapolating radar echoes.

The life cycle of thunderstorm gust fronts as viewed with Doppler radar and rawinsonde data
TL;DR: In this paper, a horizontal roll detected in the reflectivity pattern resulting from airflow that is deflected upward by the ground, while carrying some of the smaller precipitation ahead of the main echo core of the squall line was detected.

Nowcasting severe convective activity over southeast India using ground‐based microwave radiometer observations
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of nowcasting convective activity is examined by using thermodynamic indices derived from the ground-based microwave radiometer (MWR) observations located at a tropical station, Gadanki (13.5°N, 79.2°E).
