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 ...

High-Resolution Lightning Detection and Possible Relationship with Rainfall Events over the Central Mediterranean Area

Remote Sensing, 2019
Lightning activity is usually associated with precipitations events and represents a possible indicator of climate change, even contributing to its increase with the production of NOx gases.

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.

Regional features of thunderstorm activity (on the example of the territory of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic)

Наука. Инновации. Технологии, 2023
Introduction. Thunderstorm activity refers to one of the regional climatic characteristics of a limited area. Thunderstorms result in lightning discharges and an increase in the electric field strength of the surface layer of the atmosphere.

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.

Study of the total lightning activity in a hailstorm [PDF]

Atmospheric Research, 2009
A thunderstorm which developed in North-Eastern region of Spain on 16th June, 2006 is analyzed. This thunderstorm could be severe because it produced hailstones larger than 19 mm. The cell life time was 3h 30 minutes. Radar cross-sections show a strong vertical development with cloud tops reaching an altitude of 13 km.
