Investigation on the occurrence of positive cloud to ground (+CG) lightning in UMP Pekan

This paper is going to find the direction of +CG lightning and its relationship with monsoon season in Malaysia by using data obtained from Malaysia Meteorological Department (MMD) for 2015. Analysis from this study found that a high numbers of lightning occur during dry season compares to rainy seas...
