Short summary
This study examines various microphysical properties of liquid and solid hydrometeors to investigate their relationship with lightning activity. Measurements were collected from the Polar 55C dual-polarization radar, a 2-DVD, and LINET. From the analysis of three significant case studies, linear relations between the total mass of graupel and the number of strokes were found. Results point out the key role of ice mass in determining the electrical charging of convective clouds.
