The results show that the effective detection radius of a lightning monitoring sub-station in Guizhou Province is 160 km; some counties in the southwest,northwest and northeast of Guizhou were not detected. To improve the detector efficiency of lightning monitoring network in Guizhou Province,it is suggested that nine sub-stations should be built in Weining,Shuicheng,Qinglong,Pingtang,Rongjiang,Yuping,Songtao,Tongren and Renhuai,so that the effective detection efficiency will reach more than 95%.展开更多

With the development and application of advanced lightning detection and location technologies, lightning meteorology has been developed into an important interdiscipline between atmospheric electricity and meteorology. This paper mainly reviews the advances of lightning meteorology research in recent years in China from the following five aspects: 1) development of advanced lightning location technology, 2) char- acteristics of lightning activity in different convective systems, 3) relationship of lightning to the dynamic and microphysical processes in thunderstorms, 4) charge structure of thunderstorms, and 5) lightning data assimilation techniques and application to severe weather forecasting. In addition, some important aspects on future research of the lightning meteorology are proposed.展开更多
