Charge structure and lightning sensitivity in a simulated multicell thunderstorm (2005, methodology): “Pereyra et al. [2000] found that the technique for introducing ice crystals into a cloud chamber, either grown within the cloud (one-cloud method) or in a separate chamber (two-cloud method), can dramatically affect the results, especially at lower cloud water content.”
The 29 June 2000 Supercell Observed during STEPS. Part II: Lightning and Charge Structure (2005, unknown): “Presumably the magnitudes of the negative and lower positive charge regions differed from those of the more commonly observed tripole, such that IC flashes between these regions were more energetically favorable than CG flashes (Marshall and Stolzenburg 2002).”
Forecasting Lightning Threat Using Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations (2009, unknown): “…lightning forecast products that are straightforward, while avoiding the added expense and complexity of incorporating explicit cloud electriﬁcation algorithms into the models (see, e.g., Helsdon and Farley 1987; Helsdon et al. 1992; MacGorman et al. 2001; Mansell et al. 2002; Kuhlman et al. 2006).”
Numerically Simulated Electrification and Lightning of the 29 June 2000 STEPS Supercell Storm (2006, background): “Though such a charge distribution certainly enhances the probability of a channel propagating to ground, the necessity for this charge configuration in the simulations may be a result of the limitations described by Mansell et al. (2002).”
Relationships between Convective Storm Kinematics, Precipitation, and Lightning (2002, background): “The modeling study by Mansell et al. (2002) showed that positive CGs require negative charge underlying positive charge, in order to initiate positive leaders to ground.”
The Electrical Structure of Two Supercell Storms during STEPS (2005, background): “Gilmore and Wicker (2002), MacGorman et al. (2002), and Carey et al. (2003) suggested that large cloud liquid water concentrations were responsible, as will be discussed later.”
Simulated Electrification of a Small Thunderstorm with Two-Moment Bulk Microphysics (2010, methodology): “The branched lightning parameterization of Mansell et al. (2002) was used, with charge neutrality of the channel structure now maintained by adjusting the electric potential of the channel (e.g., Mazur and Ruhnke 1998). A very similar scheme was recently employed by Riousset et al. (2007) with an id”
