Short summary
The paper focuses on the differentiation between large clusters of thunderstorms and smaller ones, such as supercells. The analysis was also enriched by DEMETER (Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions) satellite flybys, which granted us better insight into the origins of these phenomena. The main conclusion from the paper shows that the more condensed in size the thunderstorm is, the stronger discharge it generates.
