Skills of Thunderstorm Prediction by Convective Indices over a Metropolitan Area: Comparison of Microwave and Radiosonde Data

In this work, we compare the values of 15 convective indices obtained from radiosonde and microwave temperature and water vapor profiles simultaneously measured over Nizhny Novgorod (56.2°N, 44°E) during 5 convective seasons of 2014−2018. A good or moderate correlation (w...
