Low Latitude Lightning Activity Responses to Cosmic Ray Forbush Decreases

Abstract The relation between low latitude lightning activity and Forbush decreases (FDs) of galactic cosmic rays was studied, with flash rates observed by the Lightning Image Sensor aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite and FDs selected from the events with decreases more than 2%...
