Investigation of Lightning Discharges in the North-Caucasus Region of Russian Federation

摘要

The parameters of the lightning currents have been determined for the Southern regions of Russian Federation for the first time. The database of the characteristics of the on-land discharges has been composed on the basis of data from the thunder-detector LS 8000. The analysis of obtained results has been performed and the analytical dependencies for the distribution of the lightning currents established applying the mathematical methods.
