Abstract

We demonstrate a technique for obtaining model daily variations in the global lightning stroke number based on the maps of spatial distribution of discharges collected by the OTD satellite (Optical Transient Detector) on the annual or monthly span. To obtain the diurnal variations, we apply the masks moving around the globe with the sun. Three masks are used: the dayside of the globe (DS), its afternoon sector (A), and the hot spot, or a circular area of given radius (HS). Each mask ‘activates’ the strokes found within it. We demonstrate that models predict diurnal variations that agree with measurements of fair weather field and intensity of global electromagnetic resonance (Schumann resonance).
