Lightning has been a global phenomenon observed for thousands of years, and is yet not completely understood by scientists. It is the characteristic property of thunderstorms and even a slight rise in air temperature at ground level leads to a furious increase in the frequency of lightning during thunderstorms. Lightning is becoming the leading cause of weather related personal injuries; hence, the study of lightning strike behavior with respect to various parameters like strike time, geographical distribution, and strength, apart from its electromagnetic wave characteristics, has always been a very challenging and interesting field to explore. This book provides various new visualization and statistical analysis algorithms developed to study lightning strike data in a variety of ways with respect to strike time, strength, and location. These algorithms will definitely serve as a new insight for upcoming students and research scientists to explore the unknown facts of lightning strikes for improving lightning protection on a global scale.
