摘要：
[1] Satellite (LIS) based lightning flash grid (0.5degrees x 0.5degrees) data for the Indian land mass region covering from 8degrees-33degreesN and 73degrees-86degreesE for a period of 4 years (1998-2001) were used to study the diurnal variation with one hour time resolution. The analysis revealed that there exists a strong diurnal cycle in the lightning activity with a prominent peak around 1000 UTC. An examination of seasonal diurnal variation suggests that the lightning activity was found highest in premonsoon and lowest in the postmonsoon season.
