Cyclones be predicted?
Meteorologists around the world use modern technology such as satellites, weather radars and computers etc. to track tropical cyclonesas they develop. Tropical cyclones are often difficult to predict, as they can suddenly weaken or change their course

To better understand tropical cyclones, forecasters and researchers need to monitor these storms continuously. Keeping a real-time eye on lightning associated with tropical cyclones is an important step toward such continuous monitoring. The multiple physical connections between lightning, convection, precipitation, and rapid storm intensity changes make lightning a rich source of information on how these storms evolve.
The World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) team, a group coordinated by the University of Washington in Seattle, operates a network of lightning location sensors that produces regular maps of lightning activity all over the world. To tackle the demand for continuous tropical cyclone monitoring, the WWLLN team has developed a unique “storm-following” tool and a public website known as WWLLN Tropical Cyclones (WWLLN-TC). The website visualizes lightning data in near-real time for all tropical cyclones across the globe.
Together, lightning and microwave data can track a range of parameters in tropical cyclones; storm intensity changes are related to the density of lightning strokes.WWLLN-TC also integrates these data with microwave satellite data from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Adding in the lightning data can help fill gaps in and between satellite microwave images.
Together, the lightning and microwave data can track a range of parameters, including intensity changes in tropical cyclones; past research has shown that intensity changes are related to the density of lightning strokes [e.g., Solorzano et al., 2008; DeMaria et al.,2012]. Thus, WWLLN-TC offers the potential to improve forecasts of tropical cyclone intensification
