effects on longer time-scales (through NOx production and forest fire ignition). It is accompanied by severe weather, hail and flash flooding that often cause significant economic losses. The intensity and nature of convective storms and lightning in future
climate conditions are not well understood or predicted. Human societies are becoming more vulnerable to severe weather and tropical storms, therefore lightning prediction and detection are essential for aviation, shipping and public safety.</span></p>
