| Summary: | Two sensors of the European lightning detection network (LINET) were
installed in Serbia and included into this system in 2008. Besides getting
various LINET results for lightning discharge characteristics over the
six-years’ period, the first accurate flash density maps of Serbia are
obtained and given in this paper. Such maps are nowadays preferable for the
design of lightning protection system. Principles of LINET system and its
possibilities are also presented in this paper. Current amplitude
distributions, stroke rates for 24-hours and lightning strokes maps for some
lightning days in Europe are given, so as flash density maps of Serbia for
each year from 2008 to 2013, along with the map of accumulated data for that
period. |
