Abstract

This study provides a multi–scale characterization of the diurnal cycle of lightning activity in the Congo Basin using WWLLN data (2013–2022). At the 5°déc scale, the study area appears to be composed of three clusters of sectors differentiated by the maximum of the hourly lightning rate. There are high–activity sectors (Max≥25,000 flashes/h), low–activity sectors (Max
