The ability of numerical weather prediction models to accurately predict extreme weather
events, such as thunderstorms marked by heavy rainfall and lightning activities, has …

This work documents the performances of diagnostic and explicit lightning forecasts for
selected high impact weather events over Bangladesh. The lightning flashes are calculated …

Advancements have been made in the field of lightning research. A study on lightning
frequency in India, a tropical hotspot, has not been conducted despite the existence of a …

This paper appraises the association of lightning flash count (FC) with rainfall using the
satellite-borne Lightning Imaging Sensor's (LIS) data along with gridded rainfall data (0.5 o× …

Lightning characteristics in India are examined with satellite-based Lightning Imaging
Sensor (LIS) and ground-based Indian Lightning Detection Network (ILDN). LIS …

Lightning is an electrical discharge—a 'spark'or 'flash'as charged regions in the atmosphere
instantly balance themselves through this discharge. It is a beautiful and deadly naturally …

Lightning activity over Telangana (17° N–19° N and 78° E–82° E), and the 13 districts of
Andhra Pradesh (AP) are studied using the data from the lightning imaging sensor aboard …

During the pre-monsoon season (March–April–May), the eastern and northeastern parts of
India, Himalayan foothills, and southern parts of India experience extensive lightning activity …

Lightning has emerged as one of the major weather hazards in India. Lightning forecasts are
introduced into the operational National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting …

The lightning climatology over Nepal is analysed in detail for the first time. For the analysis,
we utilised the satellite-based lightning imaging sensor data for the period from 1998 to …
