Abstract

Atmospheric lightning is a dominant weather related disaster which requires continuous monitoring efforts. While the world wide lightning location network (WWLLN) measures the very low frequency (VLF) signals emanating from the lightning, other regional networks, such as Lightning Detection Sensor Network (LDSN) use the broad band radio frequency signals. Present investigation compares the cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning occurrences recorded by the WWLLN and LDSN during 02 October – October 09, 2022 over India. Results show that though the WWLLN monitored the CG lightning occurrences about 20% lesser than the LDSN, spatial distribution of the occurrences and trends were in very good agreement.
