Research Highlight
Study on Overshooting Convective Storms (OCS) in the Western Ghats region– multi-sensor approach
Overshooting Convective Storms (OCSs) are deep convective storms penetrating the tropopause level, typically 16-20 km in the tropical region. The study combines X-band dual-polarization Doppler weather radar, lightning observations, Disdrometer measurements, satellite data, ERA5 reanalysis, and radiosonde observations to characterize one of the region's most intense convective events.
