Abstract

Lightning detection networks installed throughout the world provide data for obtaining flash density maps and information about lightning discharges characteristics. According to the IEC 62858 Standard, lightning data for at least ten years is required to ensure that short time scale variations in lightning parameters are accounted for. LINET (European Lightning Detection Network) was installed in Serbia in 2008, so its data for the last ten years period are used for the analysis in this paper. LINETGIS is a new software application based on geographical information system (GIS) technology in order to obtain regional flash density maps of Serbia. LINETGIS application may be used for up-to-date regional flash density maps of Serbia, but also for any other GIS covered area.
