Abstract

 

Analysis of the influence of thunderstorm activity type (i.e. air-mass thunderstorm or frontal thunderstorm) on forest fire occurrence in Krasnoyarsk region for 2005 was performed. The data of instrumental measurements made by AVHRR radiometer on NOAA satellites and on-ground system of lightning direction finding of Krasnoyarsk airbase of forest protection service were analyzed. The seasonal and latitudinal dynamics of thunderstorm activity was defined. The distribution of lightning-caused fires depending on time interval since lightning strike registration was obtained. The relationships between number of lightning strikes recorded and fire danger class as well as between number of lightning-caused fires and fire danger class were determined.

 

Key words: remote sensing, thunderstorms, forest fires, fire danger classes
