Solar 27-day rotational period detected in wide-area lightning activity in Japan
A signal of the 27-day solar rotational period is often observed in cloud and lightning activities over the globe. Here we provide evidence of the 27-day periodicity of lightning activity in Japan using daily observational records of lightning for AD 1989–2015. The 27-day period is detected with...

| description | A signal of the 27-day solar rotational period is often observed in cloud and
lightning activities over the globe. Here we provide evidence of the 27-day
periodicity of lightning activity in Japan using daily observational records
of lightning for AD 1989–2015. The 27-day period is detected with 4.2
standard deviations, but only in wide-area lightning activity covering more
than a 10<sup>5</sup> km<sup>2</sup>. The 27-day signal is more prominent around the
maxima of solar decadal cycles. |
