Abstract
A study of the flashing characteristics of thunderstorms can provide useful information of scientific interest and application value if all types of flashes could be recorded with equal satisfaction. One way of realizing this requirement is by utilizing the now known experimental result that all types of flashes are equally effective in radiating HF noise. This paper describes a technique based on this criterion for investigating the flashing characteristics of thunderstorms and deducing therefrom values of flash densities and thunderstorm parameters such as storm life, number of cells developed during the lifetime of a storm, cell life, rates of flashing, etc. The results of such studies of spring thunderstorms over Bangalore are discussed.Keywords
