Knowing the rate of atmospheric electrical activity is fundamentally relevant for human life, and for infrastructures, because these events cause major damages of different nature. In the case of country airports and aerodromes, it is of particular importance on the operation related ramp closures on departing and arriving air traffic and ramp personnel operations in adverse weather conditions. For...
This work presents a lightning jump algorithm (LJA): “GeoRayos” to detect severe weather; it is based on the algorithm presented by Schultz et al. (2011) [1]. The lightning data used in this study came from the World Wide Lightning Location Network which is a real-time, world-wide and ground network. In this study, the lightning activity occurred during spring and summer of 2013 on the region [20–50]S...
The information about lightning activity is fundamental to atmospheric surveillance. Few countries in the world have their own lightning detection networks which allow monitoring the lightning activity inside their national borders. The World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) provides global lightning data, which was already used to characterize the lightning activity in several regions of the...
