Synergistic Effects of Lightning Activity and Other Disturbance Factors on NO2 in Yunnan and Its Surrounding Areas by ZHAO Pingwei, LI Liyin, WANG Jiani, REN Juzhang, CHEN Jing, ZHANG Yunqiu

“…When the lightning activity is weak, the wet deposition effect of rainfall on the ground NO2 density is obvious, and the wet deposition effect of rain falling from the stronger lightning activity cannot completely offset the contribution of lightning to the increase of ground NO2 density. (4) The change of surface NO2 density during the first lightning from June to August is more regular than that from February to April, which shows that the ground NO2 density increases hourly in the first 6 hours and decreases slowly hourly in the last 3 hours. (5) The ground NO2 density on the lightning days in the two regions is generally higher than those on the days without lightning. …”
