Abstract:

Radar characteristics of convective clouds during their transition to thunderstorm stage are considered for three regions of the world (India, North Caucasus, and north-west of Russia). Cu depth increases in all regions; the reflectivity and cloud volumes with high reflectivity increase in Russia. Changes in reflectivity in clouds in India are low.

Keywords:

thunder, radar, cumulonimbus
