Presentation Transcript

  1. Discussion Topics • Lightning and Climate Change • Global circuit, fair weather field, lightning as a global thermometer, brief E&M review • Thunderstorms • Charge structures • Charging theories, non-inductive and inductive • Lightning mapping and detection • Northeast Colorado Lightning Mapping Array • Radar based lightning studies

  2. Continued… • Lightning in winter storms • Transient Luminous Events • Sprites, elves, jets • NOx production by lightning • The CAPE vs. Aerosol debate for convective invigoration and lightning production • Lightning in tropical cyclones • Lightning and severe storms • Characteristics of lightning; return stroke, stepped leader

  3. Continued… • Instrumentation; field mill, long range lightning detection • GOES-R and GLM, Geostationary Lightning Mapper • We will use some of the recent AGU Franklin lectures to motivate some of our discussion section (Davis Sentmann, Earle Williams and Paul Krehbiel)

  4. Class procedure • Each student will give several in class presentations (review assigned papers). • We will follow a particular theme for 2-3 class periods • Grading based on in class presentations, participation in discussion times and a final paper • Final paper—topic of your choice that was covered in class
