Abstract
Mature thunderstorms contain updrafts, which can be detected by polarimetric radar via a feature called a differential reflectivity (ZDR) column. As in Sharma et al.’s 2021 article, “Polarimetric and Electrical Structure of the 19 May 2013 Edmond–Carney, Oklahoma, Tornadic Supercell,” we discerned relationships between ZDR columns and lightning in a supercell thunderstorm. We applied similar analysis to a different tornadic supercell to see if their conclusions hold.
