| Summary: | (each on the order of I' latitude by I' longitude) from the (NLDN) during the months of April through October in the addition, the t-test and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test are used to and lightning parameters between groups of days categorized are examined. The parameters are examined on daily and/or available first-order, second-order, and cooperative by the precipitation-to-CG lightning ratio. The results show CG lightning and precipitation is a measure of the amount of CG lightning-precipitation comparisons. CG lightning, precipitation, and other parameters. In comparing them to point precipitation values. Six regions concentrating on three facets: the strength and variability Despite the general coexistence of cloud-to-ground (CG) differences as well. Lastly, tests on several different discern statistically significant differences in atmospheric generally higher correlations in regions further away from in the region. A primary tool used in the analyses is the lightning and precipitation, there have been few studies on lightning parameters corresponding to differences in the linear regression model for examining linear relations among monthly time scales. This study uses CG lightning data which of the linear correlation between the two parameters, and the optimal radius for inclusion of CG lightning flashes when positive CG flashes. When days are categorized by a possible benefits of including additional parameters to this precipitation for a region are highly varied; there are precipitation-to-CG lightning ratio, and the search for an precipitation-to-CG lightning ratio, the percent positive precipitation-to-lightning" days from roughly five to twelve radii suggest that there is no consistent optimal radius for relationship; the differences in several atmospheric and Several other parameters show statistically significant shows the most dramatic differences, with values on "high significantly beneficial addition to the model which included states of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana stations. Atmospheric parameters are computed from soundings that linear correlations between CG lightning and the Gulf of Mexico. The only parameter which is a the nature of the relationship between these two phenomena. This study endeavors to explore this relationship, times the value on "low precipitation-to-lightning" days. were recorded by the National Lightning Detection Network years 1989 to 1993.
