摘要：

Quasi-Linear Convective Systems (QLCSs) are a type of Mesoscale Convective System characterised by their linear shape and association with severe weather phenomena (such as hail, tornadoes, or wind gusts). This study deals with the application of a technique that consists of combinations of radar and lightning data to identify QLCS in Catalonia (the northeast region of the Iberian Peninsula) and the surrounding areas. Even with the limitation of reduced coverage, the technique has revealed efficiency in identifying the systems affecting the region of interest. Concretely, we have detected twenty cases for 2013-2023, significantly less than for other parts of Central Europe but similar to the global values for the whole continent and the United States of America. All cases occurred during the warm season and are divided into diurnal and nocturnal cases with different behaviours.
