| Zusammenfassung |
| Within the FLASH project, we use the 1.5-dimensional Explicit Microphysics Thunderstorm
Model (EMTM) to generate quantitative relationships between the microphysical and
electrification properties of thunderstorms, that are then utilized as classification criteria
within our Bayesian precipitation retrieval algorithm so as to help cloud profile selection by
means of lightning data. In this paper, we describe the rationale of this approach and
discuss the results of its application to some storms that occurred over central Italy
during autumn 2008 and that have been considered within the FLASH project. |
