TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the spatial and temporal characteristics of convective storm tops observed in the 1.6, 3.7 or 3.9 am spectral bands and showed that the smallest areas of increased 3. 9 am reflectivity (within or above storm tops) appear and fade on the scale of a few minutes, although larger ones can persist for tens of minutes to several hours.About:

Satellite detection of severe convective storms by their retrieved vertical profiles of cloud particle effective radius and thermodynamic phase
TL;DR: In this paper, a new conceptual model that facilitates the inference of the vigor of severe convective storms, producing tornadoes and large hail, by using satellite-retrieved vertical profiles of cloud top temperature (T)particle effective radius (re) relations is presented and tested.
