Abstract
The aim of this paper is to characterize the lightning energy over the Antarctic Peninsula through the distribution of PWV, precipitation rate and the events that occur. Calculation of PWV is made by using a two-year-period of surface meteorological data (pressure, temperature, and relative humidity) and data during summer and winter are analyzed. To strengthen the analysis, data for the precipitation rate and events with the most lightning strike occurrence in the summer and winter during the daytime were compared. Analysis showed that lightning strikes mostly occur during the winter morning with an average energy of 8,120.46 J. PWV distribution on the map showed that the value of PWV is high at locations where there is a higher concentration of lightning strikes. There are also increases of precipitation rate a few hours before and after the events along with the occurrence of snow, rain, and fog.
