摘要

分析了科罗拉多州1996-2016年21年期间的平均云对地（CG）闪电密度值。闪电密度的年平均图和月平均图为科罗拉多州复杂物理景观的雷暴/闪电气候学提供了见解。研究结果包括：1）丹佛辐合/涡度区区域环流影响科罗拉多州东北部CG闪电分布；2）与北美季风相关的湿气增加了全州的CGlightning，主要集中在圣胡安山脉的南部；和3）CG闪电的最高浓度发生在湿度、升力和不稳定性最大的地方。

Colorado Lightning Climatology

Average cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flash density values for Colorado are analyzed for the 21-yr period 1996–2016. An annual mean map and monthly mean maps of flash density provide insight into the thunderstorm/lightning climatology over the complex physical landscapes of Colorado. Findings include that 1) the Denver convergence/vorticity zone regional circulation influences the CG lightning distribution across the northeastern Colorado region; 2) moisture associated with the North American monsoon increases CG lightning over the entire state, focusing along the southern exposures of the San Juan Mountains; and 3) the highest concentrations of CG lightning occur where moisture, lift, and instability are maximized.
