Zusammenfassung |
Thunderstorm tracks in the eastern Alps for the summers of 1993-1999 are
investigated based on lightning data. The tracking method consists of three
steps. Step one filters weak storms. Step two fixes the positions of the
single cells, which are then connected. The wind at 700hPa, which
approximates the steering level of the thunderstorms, is used to distinguish
between six weather patterns. Maps including all discovered tracks are
discussed for each flow type. While locations from which thunderstorms
originate are almost similar, the track patterns are distinct for each flow
type. Main initiation areas are mountain ranges of moderate altitude
(≈2.5km MSL) from where most of the tracks lead into flat areas. |
