Scientific paper

Satellite (LIS) based lightning flash grid (0.5° × 0.5°) data for the Indian land mass region covering from 8°-33°N and 73°-86°E for a period of 4 years (1998-2001) were used to study the diurnal variation with one hour time resolution. The analysis revealed that there exists a strong diurnal cycle in the lightning activity with a prominent peak around 1000 UTC. An examination of seasonal diurnal variation suggests that the lightning activity was found highest in premonsoon and lowest in the postmonsoon season.
