英文摘要Six years of cloud to ground lighting strokes from Sferics Timing And Ranging NETwork (STARNET) and rain estimates from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM 3B42) gridded in a box of 1 degrees x 1 degrees of longitude by latitude have been combined to investigate how thunderstorm efficiency (rain yield - daily rain accumulations/daily number of strokes) varies spatially and seasonally over South America. Based on daily rain yields, 98% of the thunderstorms can be represented by four regimes: continental-arid (10(6.5)-10(7.5) kg per stroke), continental (10(7.5)-10(8.5) kg per stroke), continental-maritime (green-ocean; 10(8.5)-10(9.5) kg per stroke), and maritime (10(9.5)-10(10.5) kg per stroke). The continental-arid regimes are found over the Andes Mountains while the continental regimes extend from southern to central northern South America. The continental-maritime regime runs from the Amazon basin to northern South America, and the maritime regime is found over the ocean and along the coastline. Mean radar reflectivity profiles from coincident measurements of 2A25 TRMM-Precipitation Radar obtained for each rain yield regimes show that (a) the continental regimes have a higher concentration of ice and supercooled water droplets above the 0 degrees C isotherm height; (b) maritime regimes have larger rain volumes in the warmer phase; (c) the continental-arid regime shows the highest concentration of ice and supercooled water droplets at temperatures below -20 degrees C; (d) the continental-maritime and maritime regimes are similar, but the continental-maritime regime has slightly higher reflectivities (1-2 dBZ) and has greater 30-dBZ height; and (e) the partition of ice and supercooled water droplets between 0 and -40 degrees C influences the lightning frequency.
