Abstract
Observational study of pre-monsoon thunder events over Delhi and Guwahati region
Highlights
In Pre-monsoon season (March –May) meso-scale and synoptic scale phenomena are the main weather events
Due to local heating dry and moist air condenses and thunder event is developed in association with the dust if availability of moisture is less
For improving the quality of retrieval of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) a cloud mask is developed by Ackerman et al (1998)
Summary
In Pre-monsoon season (March –May) meso-scale (like thunder or duststorm) and synoptic scale phenomena (like cyclones) are the main weather events. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), AOD data has been utilized to study the pre-monsoon thunder events. Fig.s marked (a) are MODIS derived AOD and those marked (b) are GPS derived precipitable water vapour respectively.
