Environmental conditions associated with active lightning events in April around the Nansei Islands
Abstract A lot of cloud-to-ground lightning flashes sometimes occur around the Nansei Islands in April, while those April lightning bursts (ALBs) have not been investigated. This work aims at elucidating the environments contributing to ALBs through a case study and composite ana...
