摘要
The influence of lightning over surface-level trace gases was examined for pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons in the year 2012. Lightning events were measured using ground-based electric field monitor (EFM) and space-based lightning imaging sensor (LIS). The results showed that lightning frequency was higher during pre-monsoon period compared to monsoon, which is in good agreement with the satellite retrievals. The increase in concentration of NOx on lightning event led to a subsequent decrease in surface O-3 due to the titration reaction. Source apportionment study of SO2/NOx (S/N) and CO/NOx (C/N) ratios and poor correlation of NOx vs CO and NOx vs SO2 on the lightning day confirmed the emission of NOx from dissimilar sources.
