Icarus, 1982
Photographic observations of the nightside of Jupiter by the Voyager 1 spacecraft show the presence of extensive lightning activity. Detection of whistlers by the plasma wave analyzer confirms the optical observations and implies that many flashes were not recorded by the Voyager camera because the intensity of the flashes was below the threshold ...

Analysis of Characters of Lightning Activity and Lightning Disaster in Hunan
2019 11th Asia-Pacific International Conference on Lightning (APL), 2019Based on the thunderstorm observation data from 1956 to 2013 of meteorological stations in Hunan, the lightning monitoring data from 2008 to 2017, and lightning disaster data from 2002 to 2017, the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of lightening and lightning disaster in Hunan are analyzed.

Lightning protection of trasmission lines: analysis of lightning activity in Italian territory
2019 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2019 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I&CPS Europe), 2019Scientific community is focusing on the effect of lightning activity on people safety and infrastructures security because of the dangerous consequences of this kind of phenomenon. Each study of safety and security associated to lightning flashes needs as input reliable data in terms of lightning activity related to the analyzed territory.

Lightning activities on the Tibetan Plateau as observed by the lightning imaging sensor
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2003Lightning flash activities on the Tibetan Plateau are investigated using observations from the lightning imaging sensor. About 95% of the flashes are found to occur during May to September with a single peak in the summer from June to August. There is substantial lightning activity in May on the plateau, especially on the southern and eastern plateau ...

Solar Activity, Lightning and Climate
Surveys in Geophysics, 2011The physics of solar forcing of the climate and long term climate change is summarized, and the role of energetic charged particles (including cosmic rays) on cloud formation and their effect on climate is examined. It is considered that the cosmic ray-cloud cover hypothesis is not supported by presently available data and further investigations ...

Thunderstorms, lightning and solar activity—Middle Europe
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2001Abstract Thunderstorm–solar activity relationships have been studied in the past, mostly with records of audible thunder correlated with sunspot number (R). Our study is new in two aspects: firstly, it uses measured lightning frequency, and secondly, these records are correlated not only with R but also with other parameters characterising solar ...

Constructive Modeling of Lightning Activity in Thunderstorm Front
2019 IEEE 14th International Conference on Computer Sciences and Information Technologies (CSIT), 2019Using the tools of constructive-synthesizing modeling, constructors of fractal time series which determine the location, magnitude and rate of damping of lighting discharges are developed. Model video images of lightning in the thunderstorm front are formed according to constructors' implementation.

IEE Half-day Colloquium on Lightning Protection of Wind Turbines, 1997
Total protection from lightning is not presently possible, however even if it was, it is likely that economic considerations would preclude universal application. The assessment of risk is therefore an essential element in the consideration of protection of any structure. The question of where, and how much, and what type of protection does not have an

Vertical Development of Lightning Activity Observed by the LDAR System: Lightning Bubbles
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 2003Abstract In some Florida thunderstorm cells, impulsive very high frequency (VHF) radiation from lightning channels begins abruptly in a layer that is typically 3–6 km in diameter, 1–3 km tall, and initially located just above the freezing level. In 208 cases described here, 58% of the lightning bubbles ascended with a velocity 11–17 m s–1.
