Distribution of Lightning Accidents in Sri Lanka from 1974 to 2019 Using the DesInventar Database by Mahesh Edirisinghe, Uruvitiya Gamage Dilaj Maduranga

“…The average lightning flash densities were calculated using zonal statistics using the geographic information system (GIS), referring to the respective raster maps generated based on Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) data from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) Satellite. Hence, the variations of the lightning accidents—monthly and climate season-wise—in response to the lightning flash density were also reported. …”
