Proximity soundings for severe convection for Europe and the United States from reanalysis data
An Updated Severe Hail and Tornado Climatology for Eastern Colorado
A localized tornado and severe hail climatology is updated and enhanced for eastern Colorado. This region is one of the most active severe weather areas in the United States because of its location…
A Climatology of Thunderstorms across Europe from a Synthesis of Multiple Data Sources
The climatology of (severe) thunderstorm days is investigated on a pan-European scale for the period of 1979–2017. For this purpose, sounding measurements, surface observations, lightning data from…
A climatology of Australian severe thunderstorm environments 1979–2011: inter‐annual variability and ENSO influence
Severe thunderstorms present a significant threat to property and life in Australia during the warm season (September to April). However, these relatively infrequent events are poorly understood in…
Hail Climatology of Australia based on Lightning and Reanalysis
The highly uneven distribution of population in Australia creates major shortcomings in the reporting of severe convective storms. With the majority of the population residing on the southeast coast…
Numerical Investigation of the Role of Topography in Tornado Events in Greece
Several tornadic events have been reported in Greece during the last decades and are usually associated with strong synoptic scale forcing. Although most of them occur over the sea (waterspouts), a…
Use of RegCM gridded dataset for thunderstorm favorable conditions analysis over Poland—climatological approach
The paper analyzes equivalent data for a low density meteorological station network (spatially discontinuous data) and poor temporal homogeneity of thunderstorm observational data. Due to that, a…
Relationship between sounding derived parameters and the strength of tornadoes in Europe and the USA from reanalysis data
Identification of favorable environments for thunderstorms in reanalysis data
The relations between lightning occurrence over Europe from the EUCLID network (2008–2013) and parameters derived from ERA-Interim reanalysis data were studied to increase the understanding of the …
Investigation of the temporal variability of thunderstorms in central and western Europe and the relation to large‐scale flow and teleconnection patterns
The driving factors that influence the spatial and annual variability of thunderstorms across Europe are still poorly understood. Due to a lack of long‐term, reliable and consistent information about…
