Lightning Activity Observed by the FengYun-4A Lightning Mapping Imager [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 The Lightning Mapping Imager (LMI) onboard the geostationary meteorological satelliteFengYun-4A (FY-4A) detects both intra-cloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning continuously during daytime and nighttime. This study examined, for the first time, the optical characteristics and distribution of the “Event,” “Group,” and “Flash” observed by the LMI

On the Initiation of Upward Negative Lightning by Nearby Lightning Activity: An Analytical Approach [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021 AbstractUpward lightning occurs generally from tall structures. The mechanism of the initiation of upward lightning is not yet fully understood. Upward lightning can be classified into two categories based on either the absence or the presence of other lightning activity prior to the upward flash.

Determination of Zones and Tall Structures with the Greatest Number of Lightning Strikes
TecnoLógicas, 2022 High lightning activity sites have been characterized using methodologies based on the spatial occurrence of lightning through parameters such as Ground Flash Density, GFD. This work found the areas with the highest number of lightning strikes (hotspots)

Modeling Lightning Activity in the Third Pole Region: Performance of a km-Scale ICON-CLM Simulation
Atmosphere, 2023 The Third Pole region, especially the Himalayas, is a lightning hotspot. Predicting lightning activity in this region is difficult due to the complex monsoon and westerly circulations, as well as the complex orography. Km-scale simulations can explicitly,
