In this study we compared 3.7 million rawinsonde observations from 232 stations over
Europe and North America with proximal vertical profiles from ERA5 and MERRA-2 to …

Globally, thunderstorms are responsible for a significant fraction of rainfall, and in the mid-
latitudes often produce extreme weather, including large hail, tornadoes and damaging …

As lightning-detection records lengthen and the efficiency of severe weather reporting
increases, more accurate climatologies of convective hazards can be constructed. In this …

In this article, the global climatology of tornadoes and current understanding of the synoptic-
and meso-scale environments of tornadoes and tornado outbreaks are reviewed. The study …

Tornado climatologies are essential to enhance our knowledge about their frequency and
spatial distribution, together with their damage path characteristics. Due to their small …

We have developed additive logistic models for the occurrence of lightning, large hail (≥ 2
cm), and very large hail (≥ 5 cm) to investigate the evolution of these hazards in the past, in …

Lasting updrafts are necessary to produce severe hail; conventional wisdom suggests that
extremely large hailstones require updrafts of commensurate strength. Because updraft …

Previous studies have identified environmental characteristics that skillfully discriminate
between severe and significant-severe weather events, but they have largely been limited …

The near-ground wind profile exhibits significant control over the organization, intensity, and
steadiness of low-level updrafts and mesocyclones in severe thunderstorms, and thus their …
