Abstract
A rank correlation method was applied to investigate the influence of atmospheric thunderstorm conditions on the life time (observation time) of Ball Lightnings (BL). Data from the PC Stakhavov-Keul-Bychkov Data Bank on BL were used. For the analysis a ranking of BL over sizes has been made and a ranking of atmospheric conditions of the BL observations in respect to humidity and of thunderstorm conditions in respect to electric field strength of the atmosphere ground layer have been made. Statistical analysis reveals that both the increase of the humidity and of the electric field strength decreases the BL life time. These results are discussed from the point of view of the different BL models.
