Variation of lightning peak current parameter as a function of cloud-to-ground lightning flash density in Colombia

This paper presents some analysis of lightning activity in Colombia, a country with places with a very high and unusual levels of lighting activity or hotspots. The results presented in this work aim to study the special behavior that seems to be present in Colombia about the relationship between lightning peak current amplitude and Cloud to Ground Lighting Flash Density (CGLFD), using data provided by a Colombian Lightning Location System (LLS) network. 15 years' data analysis is carried out; this is enough information available to obtain some conclusions regarding this subject. A data management in relation with lightning peak current and CGLFD is developed with the aim of making the analysis comparable with other similar studies carried out in different location around the world.
