Lightning represents a natural phenomenon of substantial interest.
Due to its complex nature, research continues in many countries and
reveals amazing results. Lightning is actively observed because of
its relevance to Earth climate and air composition in addition to
the classical aspects of related human fatalities and damage to
forests, buildings, power lines, aircraft, structures and
electronic devices. In this volume, the most important contemporary
questions on lightning are addressed and analyzed under many
experimental and theoretical aspects. Lightning detection
techniques using ground-based and space-borne methods are
described, along with network engineering and statistical analysis.
Contributions detail research on atmospheric electricity, cloud
physics, lightning physics, modeling of electrical storms and
middle atmospheric events. Special phenomena such as triggered
lightning and sprite observations are examined. Lightning-induced
nitrogen oxides and their effects on atmospheric chemistry and
climate are discussed. Each topic is presented by international
experts in the field. Topics include: * air chemistry * convective
storms * infrasound from lightning * lightning and climate change *
lightning and precipitation * lightning and radiation * lightning
and supercells * lightning and thunderstorms * lightning detection
* lightning from space * lighting protection * lightning return
strokes * observations and interpretations * spatial distribution
and frequency * triggered lightning * weather extremes
