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

open access: yesAnnales 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 ...

Study on Temporal and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Lightning on Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in Summer 2019-2023

open access: yesGaoyuan qixiang
The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, due to its high altitude, exhibits unique lightning and convective activity compared to lower-altitude regions.Using the ‘Group’ data from the Lightning Mapping Imager (LMI) on the Fengyun-4A satellite, a statistical analysis ...

Enhancement of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Activity Caused by the Urban Effect: A Case Study in the Beijing Metropolitan Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
To investigate the possible impact of urban development on lightning activity, an eight-year (2010–2017) cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning dataset provided by the National-Wide Lightning Detection Network in China was analyzed to characterize the CG ...

Application of 3D scanning technology in Royal Malaysian Air Force Industrial Revolution 4.0‐based aircraft maintenance

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract 3D scanning is rapidly becoming a key maintenance tool. Aerospace was a pioneer in adopting 3D scanning technology because aircraft manufacture and maintenance require precision. Monitoring deterioration, removing components for maintenance, and verifying covert operations are not practical or helpful without technology.

Lightning activity and severe storm structure

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1984
Space‐time mapping of VHF sources from four severe storms on 19 June 1980 reveals that lightning processes for cloud‐to‐ground (CG) and large intracloud (IC) flashes are confined to an altitude below about 10 km and closely associated with the central regions of high reflectivity. Another class of IC flashes produces a splattering of sources within the

Prediction of Lightning Activity over Bangladesh Using Diagnostic and Explicit Lightning Parameterizations of WRF Model

open access: yesNatural Hazards, 2023
Abstract Lightning discharge from thunderstorms is a major weather hazard and the loss of lives and properties caused by lightning is high in Bangladesh due to frequent lightning activity in the pre-monsoon season (March-May). In this study, numerical simulations in predicting the lightning flashes using diagnostic and explicit lightning ...
