NE most lightning-prone: Study
The Telegraph | Nilotpal Bhattacharjee | Silchar, April 30
The Northeast is prone to lightning because of its complex topography, killing many people every year.
A study, Spatio-temporal variability of the properties of mesoscale convective systems over a complex terrain as observed by TRMM sensors, by Hupesh Choudhury, Partha Roy, Sarbeswar Kalita and Sanjay Sharma states that the northeastern states are prone to lightning, especially during the pre-monsoon period. The study was published in the International Journal of Climatology in September last year.
The study was conducted taking space-time variation of flash rate density over the Northeast by using monthly satellite-based lightning flash grid data for a period of 10 years (1998-2007). "
