Solar cycle signatures in lightning activity [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
The cross-correlation between annual lightning frequency and solar activity and the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) is examined on a global scale using corrected data from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) for the period 2009 to 2022 ...

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

Lightning Activity Over Chilean Territory

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
AbstractThis work presents the spatial distribution and temporal variability of lightning activity over the continental territory of Chile by means of Thunderstorms days (Td), on the basis of 7 years (2012–2018) of lightning measurement from World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN).

How to teach lightning activities to spark students' curiosity? [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2021
Abstract. There is a worldwide tendency to approach physics in everyday life. Special attention is being paid to the integration of socio-scientific issues into physics teaching such as saving energy, climate change and its consequences, and other examples.

Area‐average rainfall and lightning activity [PDF]

Journal 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]

Annales 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 ...

Lightning activity following the return stroke [PDF]

Journal 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

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

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

Five-Year Analysis of Lightning Activities in Different Climatic Regions of Sichuan Province, China

Advances in Meteorology, 2023
Sichuan is a high-incidence area of thunderstorm activity in China. Based on the data of the total lightning location system from 2018 to 2022, the total lightning, cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning, and intracloud (IC) lightning activity regularity for the
