Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning is one of the leading causes of weather-related fatalities in
the United States, second only to flooding (Curran et al. 2000). Data from the publication�…

This research characterizes the spatial and temporal distribution of cloud-to-ground lightning
occurring during the winter season (December through February) by utilizing 14 years (2002�…

We use 16years (1995–2010) of data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN)
to examine the spatial and temporal variability of major cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning days�…

Annual maps of cloud-to-ground lightning flash density have been produced since the
deployment of the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN). However, a�…

Florida annually leads the United States in lightning-caused fatalities. While many studies
have examined the lightning frequency maximum near Cape Canaveral, relatively little�…

Flash density and occurrence features for more than 23.5 million cloud‐to‐ground (CG)
lightning flashes detected by the Canadian Lightning Detection Network (CLDN) from 1999�…

Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning is a major cause of severe weather-related fatalities and
injuries (Mills et al. 2009; Curran et al. 2000), property and infrastructure damage (Holle et�…

National maps of cloud-to-ground lightning flash density (flashes/km2/year) for the entire
year have been produced since the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) was first�…

The US National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) has recorded cloud-toground (CG)
lightning observations regularly for more than a decade (1989-2000). The main research�…
