主 题:Lightning location system Quality control Small amplitude Cloud-to-ground lightning Logarithmic normal distribution China
摘 要:Based on lightning location data in Chongqing region during 1999-2008,the frequency of lightning in various amplitude ranges and its annual variations were analyzed ***,with the aid of matlab mathematical software,the distribution of the lightning location data was fitted using logarithmic normal distribution *** results showed that after data of cloud-to-ground lightning with current amplitude from-5 to5 kA were deleted from lightning location data,the statistical characteristics of cloud-to-ground lightning could be reflected ***,lightning with current amplitude from-5 to 5 kA accounted for 1.05%(less than 2%),which accorded with the detection principle of lightning position indicator(there existed error detection).Therefore,cloud-to-ground lightning with current amplitude of-5-5 kA in lightning location data of Chongqing region was defined as small amplitude of cloud-to-ground lightning,which could provide scientific references for the processing of lightning location data in Chongqing region as well as analysis and quality control of lightning location data in other regions.
