Research on the Relation of Thunderstorm Days and Lightning Density in Jiangsu Province

Abstract

Thunderstorm days are used to show the lightning frequency happened somewhere. Through comparative analysis on the thunderstorm days data of 66 weather stations in Jiangsu province and lightning data of ADTD lightning monitoring, it presents that the correlation coefficient r became the largest at 11 km range, and the longest distance of thunderstorm artificial observation is 11-14 km. According to the study of lightning activities in Jiangsu province to get the statistical fitting function curve equation by thunderstorm days and ground flash density data. Test the actual application effect of fitting equation by calculating the average relative error of fitting equation and standard equation, then make sure the actual thunderstorm days in Jiangsu province and the cloud to ground flash density formula is Ng=0.0224 Td1.48.
