Slide 22: Hail is precipitation that is formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere Hail can
The past 20 years have seen the discovery of two surprising phenomena above thunderstorms: one is the huge electric discharges in the stratosphere
Thunderstorm induced increases of ozone in the low levels of the atmosphere occasionally are high enough to be harmful to plants and perhaps to animal life
remote sensors can help delineate areas where storms will develop a short time later The thunderstorm is a dramatic phe- nomena which has long gained the
The cooling effect of falling precipitation and the influx of colder air marks the end of thunderstorm activity • Since the updrafts no longer occur, the cloud
After Global Atmospheric Research program's Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE, 1974), cloud ensemble modeling was developed to study the

ESS 111 – Climate and Global Change Page 2 Atmospheric Stability Clouds • Stability A cumulonimbus cloud that produces lightning (and hence thunder)
Since these hot and cold air boundaries are most pronounced in winter, Slide 6 : One of the ingredients needed for thunderstorm development is moisture,
through certain combinations of geography and atmospheric flow al, since individual storms typically After surface heating and convective development,
