Hello all,
I came across a publication studying the distribution of superbolts (lightning bolts with at least a thousand times the energy of the average bolt): Error - Cookies Turned Off . I was trying to study this kind of bolts further and understand why they are this bright and powerful, but I couldn't find many resources exploring this. One online resource I found about lightning in general was this: True Facts About Lightning - Weather Geeks , and one thing they mention is that blue lightning is usually correlated with a high precipitation storm with chances of hail.
This got me thinking: is there any correlation at all between the formation of hail in a storm and the power or probability of lightning? Since I couldn't find an academic reference, I thought more experienced people like yourselves might have an answer.
Thank you!
