Description :
This research investigates what meteorological factors contributed to lightning production and thunderstorm development in and surrounding Richmond County, Georgia, during the month of April from 1995 to 2003. Discriminant analysis is utilized in order to identify what meteorological variables correlated most significantly with lightning production in thunderstorms. Additionally, composite synoptic analyses of environmental conditions associated with thunderstorm days and a case study of the 2 highest lightning activity days in April are also presented.
