Scientific paper

We use the data on the planetary distribution of thunderstorms collected by optical transient detector (OTD) to derive the properties of global electric activity. Processing of optical data indicates that modern observations from space confirm the general concept of thunderstorm distribution and motion. Close similarity is demonstrated between the World Meteorological Organization data and modern records including Carnegie curve. Departures noted might be caused by thunderstorms redistribution owing to climate change; the issue deserves a special examination.
