Variation of lightning-ignited wildfire patterns under climate change
Nature Communications, 2023 Lightning is the main precursor of natural wildfires and Long-Continuing-Current (LCC) lightning flashes are proposed to be the main igniters of lightning-ignited wildfires (LIW).

Extratropical forests increasingly at risk due to lightning fires
Nature Geoscience, 2023 Fires can be ignited by people or by natural causes, which are almost exclusively lightning strikes. Discriminating between lightning and anthropogenic fires is paramount when estimating impacts of changing socioeconomic and climatological conditions on ...

Lightning patterns in the Pantanal: Untangling natural and anthropogenic-induced wildfires.
Science of the Total Environment, 2022 The identification of fire causes and characteristics is of fundamental importance to better understand fire regimes and drivers. Particularly for Brazil, there is a gap in the quantification of lightning-caused fires.

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Lightning-induced fire is the primary disturbance agent in boreal forests. Recent large fire years have been linked to anomalously high numbers of lightning-caused fire starts, yet the mechanisms regulating the probability of lightning ignition remain ...

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2022 Lightning is an electrical discharge — a ‘spark’ or ‘flash’ as charged regions in the atmosphere instantly balance themselves through this discharge. It is a beautiful and deadly naturally occurring phenomenon.

The WGLC global gridded lightning climatology and timeseries
Earth System Science Data, 2021 . Lightning is one of the most important atmospheric phenomena and has wide ranging influence on the Earth System, but few long-term observational datasets of lightning occurrence and distribution are currently freely available.

Lightning occurrences and intensity over the Indian region: Long-term trends and future projections
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 . Lightning activities constitute the major destructive component of thunderstorms over India. Hence, understanding the long-term variabilities of lightning occurrence and intensity and their inter-relation with various causative factors is required ...
