Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) describe organized groupings of thunderstorms in
the tropics and mid-latitudes that span thousands of square kilometres. While recognized for …

The knowledge of the lightning-induced nitrogen oxides (LNO x) source is important for
understanding and predicting the nitrogen oxides and ozone distributions in the troposphere …

Lightning is an indicator and a driver of climate change. Here, using satellite observations of
lightning flash rate and ERA5 reanalysis, we find that the spatial pattern of summer lightning …

Lightning plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the initiation of wildfires,
but the impact of global warming on lightning rates is poorly constrained. Here we propose …

In cirrus and orographic wave clouds, highly supercooled water has been observed in small
quantities (less than 0.15 g m-3). This high degree of supercooling was attributed to the …

Global Climate is one chapter from the State of the Climate in 2022 annual report and is
available from https://doi. org/10.1175/BAMS-D-23-0090.1. Compiled by NOAA's National …

Extreme precipitation is thought to increase with warming at rates similar to or greater than
the water vapour holding capacity of the air at~ 7%° C− 1, the so-called Clausius–Clapeyron …

A Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) is proposed for flight on the International Space Station
(ISS) platform to conduct scientific research in support of the Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) …
