The objective of this research is the analysis and interpretation of radar and electrical observations made near Darwin, Australia during a recent field experiment. The interpretive work includes the testing of a number of hypotheses designed to explain the relationships between convective structure, the existence and type of lightning over land and sea. Additional work will be devoted to a search for warm cloud lightning and the traditional problem of the diurnal variation in the global electrical circuit.

这项研究的目的是分析和解释最近在澳大利亚达尔文附近进行的一次野外实验中的雷达和电学观测。解释工作包括测试一些假设，这些假设旨在解释对流结构、陆地和海洋上闪电的存在和类型之间的关系。还将致力于寻找暖云闪电和全球电路日变化这一传统问题。
