Speaker

Dr Andrew Collier (Hermanus Magnetic Observatory)

Description

The annual cycle in lightning activity is driven by the seasonal variation in solar insolation which results from the passage of the Sun back and forth across the tropics. The annual lightning cycle for all countries in Africa is shown to decompose into annual and semi-annual components.
