A Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Climatology for Poland
Monthly Weather Review, 2015 Abstract This research focuses on the climatology of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flashes based on PERUN lightning detection network data from 2002 to 2013. To present various CG lightning flash characteristics, 10 km × 10 km grid cells are used, while for estimating thunderstorm days, circles with radii of 17.5 km in the 1 km × 1 km ...

The Timing of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Relative to Total Lightning Activity
Monthly Weather Review, 2011 Abstract The first flash produced by a storm usually does not strike ground, but little has been published concerning the time after the first flash before a cloud-to-ground flash occurs, particularly for a variety of climatological regions. To begin addressing this issue, this study analyzed data from very-high-frequency (VHF) lightning
