Forecasting Lightning Threat Using Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations (2009, unknown): “Meanwhile, Petersen et al. (2005) found a strong relationship between the vertically integrated large precipitating ice content in storms and their lightning ﬂash rates.”
The global lightning-induced nitrogen oxides source (2007, background): “Charge separation is efficient for strong updrafts containing supercooled 10 liquid water, ice crystals and hail or graupel (Takahashi, 1984; Saunders, 1993; Deierling et al., 2005; Petersen et al., 2005; Kuhlman et al., 2006; Sherwood et al., 2006).”
Lightning and convection parameterisations - uncertainties in global modelling (2007, background): “the high correlation between precipitation ice and flash frequencies (Petersen et al., 2005) are promising, though they require improvements of both, the convection parameterisations with respect to ice microphysics and the development of a scheme that makes use of this relationship.”
Optimized regional and interannual variability of lightning in a global chemical transport model constrained by LIS/OTD satellite data (2012, unknown): “…for global and regional models have been developed, all based on proxies of deep convection [ Price and Rind , 1992, 1993, 1994; Price et al. , 1997; Allen et al. , 2000; Grewe et al. , 2001; Meijer et al. , 2001; Allen and Pickering , 2002; Petersen et al. , 2005; Jacobson and Streets , 2009].”
The relationship between lightning activity and ice fluxes in thunderstorms (2008, methodology): “…if justifiable, quantify the flux hypothesis, and to investigate and refine Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) observa- tions that indicate a global relationship between averaged precipitation ice mass water content and total lightning activity [Petersen et al., 2005a] on a storm scale.”
