improver.cli.lightning_from_cape_and_precip module

Script to apply latitude-dependent thresholding to a parameter dataset.

process(*cubes, model_id_attr=None)[source]

Apply latitude-dependent thresholds to CAPE and precipitation rate to derive a probability-of-lightning cube. Does not collapse a realization coordinate.

Parameters:
  • cubes (list of iris.cube.Cube) – A cube to be processed.

  • model_id_attr (str) – Name of the attribute used to identify the source model for blending.

Returns:

Cube of probabilities of lightning relative to a zero rate thresholds

Return type:

iris.cube.Cube
