An apparatus for composition for dual-polarization weather radar observation data includes: a coordinate system converting unit that converts a reference grid of an orthogonal coordinate system into a grid of a dual-polarization weather radar spherical coordinate system based on a latitudinal-longitudinal coordinate system for each individual dual-polarization weather radar by using an earth spherical coordinate system; a CAPPI data generating unit that generates CAPPI data based on the orthogonal coordinate system after mapping individual items of dual-polarization weather radar observation data on grid coordinates of the dual-polarization weather radar spherical coordinate system; and a CAPPI data compositing unit that performs composition of CAPPI data for each of the individual dual-polarization weather radars located at the same coordinate of the orthogonal coordinate system obtained by mapping the individual items of dual-polarization weather radar observation data thereon.

The present invention discloses a matching system between a convective cell in a weather radar image and lightning, and a control method thereof. In other words, according to the invention, convective cells are detected in a weather radar image, lightning is detected through a total lightning detection system, and the detected lightning is matched with the detected convective cells in the weather radar image. Therefore, it is possible to rapidly and accurately match and confirm a lightning-generated convective cell of a plurality of convective cells.
