Abstract:

The results of field experiments with thunderclouds are analyzed for north-west of the Russian Federation and India. The state of the clouds was monitored by the C-band Doppler radar (Russia), the Blitzortung (Russia) and MLDN (India) lightning location network, and the ground fluxmeter system. It is shown that fluxmeters record a significantly greater number of “cloud – ground” lightning in the near zone than Blitzortung and MLDN.

Keywords:

radar, lightning direction finder, fluxmeter, thundercloud, hazardous weather forecast
