# Scientific Objective
# --------------------
#
# This use case identifies convective objects, which are defined by
# the intersection of: 1) satellite infrared brightness temperature < 235 K and
# 2) radar reflectivity > 40 dBZ.
# Satellite brightness temperatures are used in conjunction with radar reflectivity
# to capture both the cloud top (satellite) and in-cloud (radar) characteristics.
# Convective objects are also defined as lightning thresholds exceeding the 10th percentile.
# A percentile threshold is used for lightning data as RRFS lightning has units
# which are “non-dimensional” and therefore cannot be directly compared to the
# Geostationary Lightning Mapper.
Scientific Objective
--------------------

This use case identifies convective objects, which are defined by
the intersection of: 1) satellite infrared brightness temperature < 235 K and
2) radar reflectivity > 40 dBZ.
Satellite brightness temperatures are used in conjunction with radar reflectivity
to capture both the cloud top (satellite) and in-cloud (radar) characteristics.
Convective objects are also defined as lightning thresholds exceeding the 10th percentile.
A percentile threshold is used for lightning data as RRFS lightning has units
which arenon-dimensionaland therefore cannot be directly compared to the
Geostationary Lightning Mapper.
