Lightning accidents in the Austrian alps – a 10-year retrospective nationwide analysis
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2018 Background Lightning strikes are rare but potentially lethal. The risk for suffering a lightning strike in a mountain environment is unknown. The aim of this nationwide study was to analyse all lightning accidents in the Austrian Alps from 2005 to 2015 ...

A Study of Lightning Activity over Different Ecological Zones of Nepal [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In the present work, occurrence of lightning activity over different ecological zones of Nepal has been studied. It has been observed that Lower Tropical zone receives lightning strikes with largest value of density of strikes whereas the Trans-Himalayan zone receives lightning strikes with least value of density of strikes.

Characterizing Drivers of Asia's Black Elephant Disaster Risks
Earth's Future, Volume 10, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Asia has the fastest growing population and economy, but it is also the most disaster‐prone region in the world. Resilience to disaster impacts from natural hazards will be key to the long‐term sustainability of this rapidly growing region. The first step to building resilience is to identify the key threats that this region faces. We describe

Lightning strike probability and current simulation for simple structures and floating roof tank
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2022 Air terminations must be strategically positioned at high-risk points to prevent lightning bypass. The likelihood of a direct lightning strike to points on a building can be evaluated using the dynamic electro-geometrical model (DEGM), which considers ...
