The Timing of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Relative to Total Lightning Activity
Monthly Weather Review, 2011 Abstract The first flash produced by a storm usually does not strike ground, but little has been published concerning the time after the first flash before a cloud-to-ground flash occurs, particularly for a variety of climatological regions. To begin addressing this issue, this study analyzed data from very-high-frequency (VHF) lightning

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.

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

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 ...

Distinct aerosol effects on cloud-to-ground lightning in the plateau and basin regions of Sichuan, Southwest China [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 The joint effects of aerosol, thermodynamic, and cloud-related factors on cloud-to-ground lightning in Sichuan were investigated by a comprehensive analysis of ground-based measurements made from 2005 to 2017 in combination with reanalysis data.

Incidence of Upward Lightning Triggered by Nearby Lightning: A Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]
, 2022 Upward lightning is the dominant type of lightning discharge to tall structures. It has been observed that a significant number of these upward flashes are initiated by nearby lightning activity.

Corona discharges from grounded rods under high ambient electric field and lightning activity [PDF]
, 2021 We assess results of corona pulses detected under high background electric field in the laboratory and in the field in two different experimental sites. The first location is on the roof of a regular building, and the second is on a flat area. Due to the

Lightning in the Mediterranean and its relation with sea-surface temperature
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Here we present the analysis of lightning activity over the Mediterranean, based on a 10 year long dataset (2005–2014) provided by the ZEUS long-range lightning detection system.
