Abstract :
Deep convection over South America is investigated in terms of cloud type classified by the split window (11 and 12 μm) using the hourly data of GOES, and rainfall by the PR (Precipitation Radar), and lightning activity by the LIS (Lightning Imaging Sensor) on board TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) as case studies.
