Locations and Activities of Lightning Casualties
2018In developed regions of the globe, lightning protection is provided by the ready availability of lightning-safe structures and fully enclosed metal-topped vehicles during most daily activities of most people. In developing economies, in contrast, the lack of such lightning-safe structures and vehicles makes lightning safety very difficult to achieve ...

Isolated breakdown activity in Swedish lightning
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2008The initial breakdown processes or preliminary breakdown (PB) processes are generally associated with either cloud or cloud-ground lightning flashes, and hence have been studied mainly in connection with those subsequent activities. However, it has been observed in the summer thunderstorms of Sweden that there are breakdown processes that may not ...

One goal of planetary lightning research is the identification of the specific conditions that produce lightning on each planet. On Earth, lightning activity is produced by condensates in cumuliform water clouds. On Venus, there are no water clouds, yet there is abundant evidence of lightning.

Lightning activity in typhoon Morakot(0908)
2014 International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), 2014Using the real-time and continuous lightning location data from World Wide Lightning Network (WWLLN) and other data, such as basic information about typhoon and related satellite data from China Meteorological Administration (CMA) to study the distribution and variation of lightning activity in typhoon Morakot.

Schumann resonance and global lightning activity
MMET Conference Proceedings. 1998 International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Electromagnetic Theory. MMET 98 (Cat. No.98EX114), 2002Temporal variations of the global lightning activity are deduced from the long-term Schumann resonance (SR) continuous records. The intensities of the horizontal magnetic field component of the first, second, and third SR modes were monitored at the Tottori Observatory (35.5/spl deg/N and 134.33/spl deg/E).

Nitrogen fixation by lightning activity in a thunderstorm
Atmospheric Environment (1967), 1983Abstract NO and NO2 produced in the atmosphere by lightning have been observed and measured. Detailed observations of NOx concentrations and storm activity have been recorded. In the presence of ozone at ≈ 30–50 ppb, the NO produced is rapidly oxidized to NO2. The NOx resulting from an individual flash of lightning, as well as from numerous area-wide

Lightning activity and aerosols in the Mediterranean region
Atmospheric Research, 2016Abstract In the framework of this study, the effect of aerosols on lightning activity has been investigated for the first time over the broader Mediterranean Sea. Atmospheric optical depth data retrieved by MODIS on board Aqua satellite and cloud to ground lightning activity data provided by ZEUS network operated by the National Observatory of Athens

Lightning activity as an indicator of climate change
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1999AbstractData from the Optical Transient Detector lightning sensor are analysed to investigate the hypothesis that global lightning activity will increase should the average global temperature increase. It is shown that changes in global monthly land lightning activity are well correlated with changes in global monthly land wet‐bulb temperatures.
