HRV (70-100%)IR10.8 (Tb<240K) HRV (70-100%) radar Zmax > 35dBz HRV cloud (HRV,HRV,IR10.8) radar Zmax > 35dBz (CC+CG) 10-minute lightning data (CC+CG) Simultaneous satellite and radar data The radar images overlaid on satellite images are always interpolated in time (using displacement vector fields) to the satellite ‘European time’ (nominal + 10 minutes). (P. Németh) The parallax effect is not corrected. CC: cloud to cloud flashes, CG: cloud to ground flashes Satellite, radar and lightning data

Lightning In the updraft part of a cell many collisions happen between cloud particles, and the particles may became electrically charged. The positive and negative charges accumulate in different parts of the clouds. The generated poles cause discharges: first intra-cloud then cloud-to-ground flashes of lightning. The highest number of discharges occur in the closed ambience of the overshooting top.

Developing stage -- single cell The following features characterize the developing of a single cell: The developing stage lasts 5 to 10 minutes A distinct single updraft is prevailing The diameter of the cell is between 2 and 8 km At the end of this stage lightning is most intense Lightning in the upstream part of Cb/MCS

Lightning activity was extremly high in this MCS, more then 1000 CC (cloud to cloud) flashes were detected per 10 minutes between 6-11UTC. Between 10:10-10:20UTC almost 8000 CC flashes were detected.
