The series of lightning measured during 2002 and 2003 in two areas of Italy, Lombardia (northern Italy) and Campania (southern Italy), has been deeply investigated to detect and quantify time-clustering structures by using several methods. Our results suggest the existence of time-clustering in the sequence of lightning time-occurrences, characterized by the presence of two scaling regions, respectively related with clustering effect inside a single thunderstorm and among successive thunderstorms.

Abstract

The series of lightning measured during 2002 and 2003 in two areas of Italy, Lombardia (northern Italy) and Campania (southern Italy), has been deeply investigated to detect and quantify time-clustering structures by using several methods. Our results suggest the existence of time-clustering in the sequence of lightning time-occurrences, characterized by the presence of two scaling regions, respectively related with clustering effect inside a single thunderstorm and among successive thunderstorms.
