Abstract

The chapter delves into the complex phenomenon of lightning, detailing the characteristics of lightning discharges and their impact on various structures and power lines. It highlights the importance of monitoring thunderstorm activity for safety and infrastructure protection. The work introduces the use of the LS 8000 lightning direction finding network to map the average annual ground lightning strike rate in the Northern Caucasus, revealing significant variations in lightning activity across the region. This data is crucial for enhancing lightning protection strategies and reducing the risk of lightning damage to critical infrastructure.
