Modeling Lightning Activity in the Third Pole Region: Performance of a km-Scale ICON-CLM Simulation

open access: yesAtmosphere, 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,

Area‐average rainfall and lightning activity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1997
The aim of the paper is to discuss the statistical relations between the average rainfall parameters for an ensemble of convective cells and the mean lightning occurrence inside this area. The study is based on a data set gathered in France using C and S band radars and two different lightning detection networks.

Analysis of cloud-to-ground lightning and its relation with surface pollutants over Taipei, Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2014
Premonsoon (March–April) cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning activity over Taipei, Taiwan, is analyzed in relation to surface pollutants like particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ozone (O3) concentration for a period ...

Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Variability of Lightning Activity Associated with Wildfire over Tasmania, Australia

open access: yesFire, 2021
Lightning strikes are pervasive, however, their distributions vary both spatially and in time, resulting in a complex pattern of lightning-ignited wildfires.

Solar cycle signatures in lightning activity

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
Abstract. The cross-correlation between lightning occurrence and cosmic ray intensity, solar activity and solar wind is examined on a global scale using data from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) for the period 2009 to 2022. The cross-correlation coefficients vary depending on the position on the globe.

Lightning activity following the return stroke [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2014
Natural lightning is both frequent and variable and thus a good subject for statistical studies. A typical negative cloud-to-ground (CG) flash consists of multiple individual return strokes. The spatial and temporal distributions of various lightning events throughout the discharge provide a surrogate look inside the CG flash and offer insight into the
