There are many meteorological
events that cause various disruptions and accidents in the airway
transportation. Lightning events are the main extreme weather events observed
in this context. In this study, observations for aviation purposes hava been
carried out over many airports which are located in Marmara Region borders (4
international, 7 national-millitary) for many years. In the analyzes conducted
between 2001-2016 (15 years), daily-hourly oscillations of lightning events
were investigated, followed by daily, monthly and yearly distributions. It also
revealed how other meteorological variables followed the “Thunder” phenomenon
that brought lightning. In this direction, it is reached either it ocur by
itself or by any kind of precipitation. According to the results of the first
collective analysis, a rapid decrease was observed after sunset, while an
increase in the events was observed shortly after sunrise. The highest number
of occurences was observed between 10°C and
18°C. In parallel to these temperature ranges, lightnings have reached the
highest number in the spring and autumn seasons, usually in early summer.
