R and Python scripts to read and process weather radar, lightning and other data related to hailstorm cases in SOS-CHUVA Project. Part of dissertation "Microphysics, Kinematics and Electrification in Hail Producing Tropical Storms during SOS-CHUVA Project" @ IAG/USP - Brazil.

Disclaimer: I'm still improving these scripts (specially converting from old Jupyter notebooks to sets of python scripts)

More info about each folder can be found in each respective README.
