Short summary
Lightning activity is highly related to the signatures of polarimetric radar on the basis of cloud electrification physics. However, few studies have focused on bridging the polarimetric structure and lightning activity during the cloud life cycle. Here, we evaluated the sequence and interactions of polarimetric parameters for indicating lightning activity from the perspective of the cloud life cycle, and the cloud microphysics of the polarimetric structure were explored.
