Abstract

During May-July 2000, the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) occurred in the High Plains, near the Colorado-Kansas border. STEPS aimed to achieve a better understanding of the interactions between kinematics, precipitation, and electrification in severe thunderstorms. The project gathered data on a number of different cases, including LP storms, supercells, and mesoscale convective systems, among others.
