A tornado warning was issued in several counties, and storms filled the sky with lightning and dark cloud formations. The NWS confirmed Tuesday night that a tornado was located east of Sneedville ...
Clouds form when the dew point temperature of water is reached in the presence of condensation nuclei in the troposphere. The atmosphere is a dynamic system, and the local conditions of turbulence, uplift, and other parameters give rise to many types of clouds. Various types of cloud occur frequently enough to have been categorized.
A cumulonimbus incus is a mature thunderstorm cloud generating many dangerous elements. Lightning: this storm cloud is capable of producing bursts of cloud-to-ground lightning. Hail: hailstones may fall from this cloud if it is a highly unstable environment (which favours a more vigorous storm updraft).
Lightning; this is a strong thunderstorm cloud and it is capable of producing bursts of cloud to ground and cloud to cloud lightning. Hail; hailstones may fall from this cloud if it is in a highly unstable environment (which favors a more vigorous storm updraft). Heavy rain; the cloud
Indicates that the air below the cloud is dry; can also signify the downdraft region of a storm. Wall clouds A supercell forms and a wall cloud pushes north of Beardstown, Ill. Friday, March 31 ...
The role of TGFs and their relationship to lightning remains a subject of ongoing scientific study. In 2009, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in Earth orbit observed intense burst of gamma rays corresponding to positron annihilations coming out of a storm formation. Scientists would not have been surprised to see a few positrons accompanying ...
Representation of upper-atmospheric lightning and electrical-discharge phenomena Discovery image of a TLE on Jupiter by the NASA Juno probe. [1]Upper-atmospheric lightning and ionospheric lightning are terms sometimes used by researchers to refer to a family of short-lived electrical-breakdown phenomena that occur well above the altitudes of normal lightning and storm clouds.
Sprites or red sprites are large-scale electric discharges that occur in the mesosphere, high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. They are usually triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground.
