Will moist convection be stronger in a warmer climate? (2007, background): “Through its connection to updraft speed [Boccippio, 2002], lightning is sensitive to temperature and a possible indicator of climate change [ Williams, 2005 ].”
Observational evidence of aerosol enhancement of lightning activity and convective invigoration (2011, background): “For example, boundary layer humidity and temperature are instrumental in determining the efficiency of lightning production for convective clouds as shown by previous studies [Williams and Renno, 1993; Williams and Satori, 2004; Williams, 2005].”
The atmospheric global electric circuit : An overview (2007, methodology): “Global Electric Circuit and global temperature (climate change) Recently it has been suggested to use GEC as a tool for studying the earth’s climate and climatic changes, because of its direct connection with lightning activity (Williams, 2005).”
Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, background): “n learnt in recent years about global lightning activity and the global electrical circuit from satellite observations and measurements of natural (Schumann) resonances of the Earth-ionosphere cavity [158]. Lightning activity is an order of magnitude larger over land than over oceans, and it is conc”
The global electrical circuit: A review (2009, background): “The global circuit response to temperature change on still longer time scales remains an outstanding question (Williams, 2005; Sátori et al., 2008).”
The global lightning-induced nitrogen oxides source (2007, background): “The higher flash ratio over land is explained by more intense convection ( " thermal hypothesis " ) (Williams, 2005).”
Tropospheric ozone in CMIP6 simulations (2020, background): “However, how lightning may respond to a warming world remains unknown (e.g. Williams, 2005; Price, 2013; Murray, 2016).”
