TRMM-Based Study of Lightning Activity and Its Relationship with Precipitation Structure of a Squall Line in South China
基于TRMM卫星对一次华南飑线的闪电活动及其与降水结构的关系研究

The data from precipitation radar (PR), lightning imaging sensor (LIS), and passive microwave imaging (TMI) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite have been used to investigate lightning activity and its relationship with precipitation structure of a strong squall line over south China on May 6, 2005. The results show that convective rains only occupied half of the area of stratiform rains, but the former contributed much more rainfall to the total than the latter. Most lightning f...
