The most efficient electrical charging mechanisms relies on the collision between ice crystals and graupel:
• It does not require an Electric field to polarize the particles
• The collisions happen in the presence of super cooled water droplets (riming)
• The charge transfer (+ or -) depends on:LWCTemperature during the collisionSize of the particles – velocityGrowth phase

Conclusions
• Lightning activity increases as transition season advances from dry to wet
• Diurnal convection favors lightning activity– 16 trough 21 UTZ (12-17 Local Time)
• The river + city circulation play an important role on the convection/lightning enhancement, boosting the vertical shear.
• Vertical Electrical field oscillation points to Negative Di-Tri-Quadipole configuration.

Conclusions
• IC charge density sources point to a Quadipoleconfiguration:
– Q- at -10/20 & -50oC and Q+ at -30 & -55oC
• CGs are observed over convective cores
• ICs are observed aloft over the turbulent cores
• 35 dBZ (S-Band) reaches as high as 10-12 km
• > 50 dBZ above 10 km over Severe Activity and tilted (shear).

Next Steps
• Correct XPOL for power decay, rain attenuation and radome wetting.
• Apply hydrometeor classification
• Run the inverse problem of Coulombs Law by combining Ez, LINET and XPOL to infer the charge centers
• Inspect the role of turbulence and hydrometeor types on the lightning activity through numerical simulations.
