The Characteristics of Thunderstorms and Their Lightning Activity on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Advances in Meteorology, 2022
This paper discusses the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning activity over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) from 2009 to 2018 and their dependence on meteorological factors. It is found that (1) the number

Spatial and temporal distribution of lightning strokes over North Asia and its comparison with solar activity variations in 2009–2016

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2017
We analyze variations of lightning activity presented by the lightning stroke number obtained by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) within the territory with boundaries 40–80° N and 60–180° E in 2009–2016.

Analysis of the lightning production of convective cells [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019
This paper presents an analysis of the lightning production of convective cells. The cells were detected by the MeteoSwiss Thunderstorms Radar Tracking (TRT) algorithm in the course of a lightning measurement campaign that took place in the summer of ...

Solar 27-day rotational period detected in wide-area lightning activity in Japan [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2017
A signal of the 27-day solar rotational period is often observed in cloud and lightning activities over the globe. Here we provide evidence of the 27-day periodicity of lightning activity in Japan using daily observational records of lightning for AD ...
