Abstract

On Aug. 29, 2016, the tropical cyclone Lionrock was reported to turn into an extra-tropical storm and go to the shore of the Primorsky Region as monitoring shows, which brought about significant precipitation growth recorded in the north of the coast. Many surveys show the tropical cyclones in this area to transform into extra-tropical ones and become powerful mid-latitude storms with significant damage to coastal and maritime areas. The paper uses WWLLN (World Wide Lightning Location Network) data to study the thunderstorm activity while the tropical cyclone reaches the typhoon level with the maximum wind velocity. This made it possible to identify parameters’ variations of thunderstorm activity during atmospheric vortex phenomena. It also enabled us to determine the emergency probability due to a thunderstorm.
