Meteorological Analysis of the Cases of Lightning Strokes in Beijing Area

By using the satellite cloud pictures,Doppler radar and lightning information,two cases of lightning strokes were analysed in Beijing area during the summer of 1998. The result shows that local convection cloud growing cause strong storm activity. There are closer relations between electrification and convection process of thunderstorms. The lightning data is a useful tool in short range forecast. It can monitor development and evolution of convective system.
