The results showed that: (1) High concentrations of large liquid particles accumulated in the low-level strong echo areas of the three squall lines, with predominant presence on both sides of the front of the squall line. The high-value area of the echo contained melted small hail particles, whereas the bow-shaped echo area was primarily composed of small liquid particles. (2) From vertical structures, different structural characteristics were observed on the front and back of the squall line. There were K<sub>DP</sub> and Z<sub>DR</sub> columns on the front side of the storm. The Z<sub>DR</sub> column exhibited a greater height compared to the K<sub>DP</sub> column. The strong updraft zone was primarily composed of low-concentration liquid large particles, with a small amount of melted ice particles observed below the height of the −10 °C level within the Z<sub>DR</sub> column. Above the height of 10 °C level, the Z<sub>DR</sub> value was relatively small, mainly composed of graupel particles. Below the zone of the Z<sub>DR</sub> high value behind the storms, there were liquid large particles and melted small hail particles. Above this height, the composition was mainly graupel or ice particles. (3) There is a certain difference in the amount of precipitation per minute, but the biggest difference is manifested in the duration of precipitation. Among them, due to the largest raindrop diameter of the squall line in Case A, Z<sub>H</sub> and Z<sub>DR</sub> were the largest, and the smallest Z<sub>H</sub> and Z<sub>DR</sub> were observed in Case C. In Case C, the precipitation exceeded 2 mm per minute. A comparison with the 1–2 mm/min range revealed that Z<sub>DR</sub> and correlation coefficient (CC), remained essentially the same, but K<sub>DP</sub> was larger.

We employ Multifractal Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis (MFDCCA) to explore these complex relationships across a range of time scales.

The study investigates the linkage between lightning activity and thermodynamic indices over the Indian subcontinent during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons across 17 years (1998–2014). The flash count data was obtained from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission's (TRMM) Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS); the upper air sounding data for thermodynamic indices was archived from the University of Wyoming. Additionally, air temperature and relative humidity data at various pressure levels were retrieved from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the same period over the Indian region. In the present study, the results indicate that the flash counts, surface maximum temperature, and Deep Convective Index (DCI) show a high peak in the month of May, before the onset of monsoon season. The higher peak of surface maximum temperature and DCI value is associated with strong convection which plays a crucial role in the occurrence of high lightning activity. The Bowen ratio (BR), planetary boundary layer (PBL), and Vertical Total Index (VTI) show a high peak in May. These are because of increased sensible heat flux and a strong vertical lapse rate. The PBL and high Cross Total Index (CTI) values contribute to more lightning strikes during the pre-monsoon season. The decrease in flash count and thermodynamic indices after the onset of monsoon season is due to the transport of more moisture from the ocean into the free atmosphere, large cloud coverage, shallow convection, slow charging mechanism, low cloud electrification and hence low lightning activity. The present study underscores the importance of evaluating threshold values of thermodynamic indices during seasonal transitions (premonsoon to monsoon season), which is useful for predicting the severity of thunderstorm formation and lightning intensity over the Indian region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15096,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics","volume":"268 ","pages":"Article 106410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143270166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
