| dc.description | High lightning activity sites have been characterized using methodologies based on the spatial occurrence of lightning through parameters such as Ground Flash Density, GFD. This work found the areas with the highest number of lightning strikes (hotspots) in some Colombian cities through a methodology based on the temporal occurrence of lightning. Likewise, the influence of elevated structures on lightning activity in these regions is determined. Polygons of 600 meters on each side were located on the surface of the study cities. Based on lightning information (strokes) provided by the Colombian Network of Total Lightning Detection with LINET technology between 2016 and 2018, the number of impacts per polygon was determined, making it possible to identify the areas in which the incidence of lightning is recurrent. Elevated structures were located in each of the study cities to determine which of them corresponded to hotspots. The results showed that the main hotspots are far from urban areas and that most of these sites coincide with elevated structures. Possible causes of these lightning strikes are also explained, such as meteorological variables, relief, precipitation, and charge distributions in storm clouds. Urbanism is found to have a marked influence on the determination of hotspots and that urbanism and elevated structures increase lightning activity in the study areas. | en-US |
| dc.description | Los sitios de alta actividad de rayos se han caracterizado utilizando metodologías basadas en la ocurrencia espacial de rayos a través de parámetros como la densidad de descargas a tierra (DDT). A través de una metodología basada en la ocurrencia temporal de rayos, en este trabajo se encontraron los sitios con mayor número de impactos (hotspots) en algunas ciudades colombianas y se determinó la influencia de las estructuras elevadas sobre la actividad de descargas en estas regiones. En la superficie de las ciudades de estudio se ubicaron polígonos de 600 metros de lado y, con base en la información de rayos (strokes) proporcionada por la Red Colombiana de Detección Total de Rayos con tecnología LINET entre 2016 y 2018, se precisó el número de impactos por polígono, lo que permitió identificar las zonas en las que la incidencia de rayos es recurrente. Asimismo, se ubicaron estructuras elevadas en cada una de las ciudades de estudio, estableciéndose cuáles de ellas correspondían a hotspots. Los resultados mostraron que los principales hotspots se ubican alejados de las áreas urbanas y que la mayoría de estos sitios coinciden con estructuras elevadas. También se explican las posibles causas de impactos de rayos, tales como variables meteorológicas, relieve, precipitaciones y distribuciones de carga en nubes de tormenta. Se concluye que el urbanismo tiene una marcada influencia en la determinación de los hotspots, y que el urbanismo y las estructuras elevadas aumentan la actividad de los rayos en las áreas de estudio. | es-ES |
