7 Monthly Variation of “More Convective” State in Tropical Longitude Sectors

8 Definitions of Penetrators
“IN STRATOSPHERE” Height > Fixed or Tropopause Height Temperature < Fixed or Tropopause Temperature ► IR Brightness Temperature = Cloud Top (IR spectrum with CO2 Q-branch in emission) ► Microwave Scattering = Precipitation Top ► TRMM Radar = Precipitation Top ► CloudSat Radar = Cloud Top ► Calipso Lidar = Cloud Top

9 Average Tropopause Temperature

10 Monthly Mean Tropopause Temperatures
Tropical Latitudes Higher Latitudes

11 Convective System Minimum Temperatures

17 Correlation of Microwave Polarization Features and Lightning
Cloud Top Temperature LIS Detection

19 Tmin time- Local time where tmin first occurs for Tmin<TT

20 Tmin time occurrence as proportion of total family length
