Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have built a world leading thunderstorm observation network with quite high resolution, including Ku broadband radars, a phased array weather radar, VHF broadband digital interferometers, and Broadband Observation network for Lightning and Thunderstorm (BOLT). We proposed and validated the latest remote sensing technique such as precipitation attenuation correction technique, clutter removal technique, and lightning imaging technique using adaptive signal processing. Thunderstorm observation carried out during summer and winter revealed physics of lightning discharges and relationship between thunderstorm physical process and electrical process.
