Description
Summary:	(CG), collected from the OTD satellite in conjunction (NLDN). The feasibility of using total lightning A comparison was performed employing lightning data aphics. A negative correlation was found between the and compared to the IC lightning. A positive As the percentage of IC lightning increased from CG lightning did as well. As the percentage of IC collected by the Optical Transient Detector (OTD) correlation was found between the percentage of IC demonstrated. The IC and CG lightning flashes were determined for the period from 1 August 1995 to 31 flash data, both intracloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground July 1996. The percentage positive, mean negative lightning and the percentage of positive CG lightning. lightning decreased from the winter to the summer, the mean peak current of the CG lightning was determined multiplicity was generally opposite of that of the multiplicity, positive mean peak current, and negative multiplicity. The behavior of the mean negative percentage of IC lightning and the mean negative percentage of IC lightning during the year. percentage of positive CG lightning followed. satellite and the National Lightning Detection Network the summer to the winter. the percentage of positive with CG lightning flashes detected by the NLDN was
