Climate Change and its Reflection on the Frequency of Lightning

Abstract

The phenomenon of lightning is a frightening and bewildering event for scientists over many centuries, and the problem of the study answers that the phenomenon of lightning in Iraq varies in time and place and what is the duration of its frequency, and what is a direct effect of the phenomenon of lightning The manifestations of public life in Iraq, and climate changes play a role in the phenomenon of lightning in Iraq, which The frequency of the phenomenon of lightning and the analysis of the climatic characteristics of the state of Iraq affect time and place, as well as the detection of the factors affecting the phenomenon of lightning, whether they are natural or human factors, given the location of the study area within the arid regions; Therefore, relying on studying the recurrence of the phenomenon of lightning is mainly because it is considered an input to economic and social development, and Calypso is considered one of the satellites with a polar orbit, orbiting from the pole to the pole, and the developer of NASA, which is designed to give excellent information about the height of the clouds in the atmosphere, that the moon Calypso It contains the CALIOP sensor, which uses two wavelengths of 532 and 1064 nm to measure the properties of the scattered light from the suspended particles in particular using the LIDAR system, which is a very effective system in detecting lightning in the atmosphere, as well as ice crystals in it, and the work of the moon Calypso is focused on sending pulses from LIDAR laser light penetrates the atmosphere to reach the surface of the earth, where the moon collects information about the distribution of lightning and monitors the phenomenon of lightning in the atmosphere, and it is one of the important tools for monitoring and interpreting the effects of lightning on the climate system. Tracking the movement of the deep depression coming from the central Mediterranean towards the eastern Mediterranean and Iraq, the National Center for Environmental Forecasts This data is analyzed and compared with the moon images (CALIPSO, TRMM-LIS), and recent practical experiments to study thunderstorms have proven that there are two types of thunderstorms, one of them is strong. And weak ones, and that the differences in the effectiveness of lightning depend on these two types of storms, which also depend on the available convective potential energy, as both give heavy rains, but they differ in terms of the atmospheric instability in which these thunderstorms are formed. The world joined and touched with the world Renault 1998 in Finding the relationship between the change in the number of monthly lightning flashes (increase and decrease) with the change in the temperature of the higher wet thermometer, and by applying the equation to the selected stations, the frequency of N is observed in the Baghdad station by 22.2%, the Mosul station by 20.2%, the Rutba station by 16.3%, and the al-Nukhayeb station by 14.2%, and the lightning is formed. Usually inside a cumulonimbus stabilizer which is also called a thunderstorm cloud.
