Short Summary

This document is a correction notice for an article that investigated the impact of assimilating Doppler radar reflectivity and radial velocity data on the prediction of lightning and rainfall associated with a severe thunderstorm over Odisha, India.

Objective

• To assess the effect of Doppler radar reflectivity and radial velocity assimilation on the prediction accuracy of lightning and rainfall for a severe thunderstorm event over Odisha, India.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Regional (over Odisha, India), focusing on a severe thunderstorm event.
• Temporal Scale: Short-term (convective scale), related to thunderstorm prediction.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not explicitly stated in the correction notice, but the study involves "assimilation" and "prediction," implying the use of a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model.
• Data sources: Doppler radar reflectivity and radial velocity data were assimilated. Other potential data sources are not mentioned in the correction notice.
