Due to its complex nature, research continues in many countries and reveals amazing results. Lightning is actively observed because of its relevance to Earth climate and air composition in addition to the classical aspects of related human fatalities and damage to forests, buildings, power lines, aircraft, structures and electronic devices. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, the most important contemporary questions on lightning are addressed and analyzed under many experimental and theoretical aspects. Lightning detection techniques using ground-based and space-borne methods are described, along with network engineering and statistical analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eContributions detail research on atmospheric electricity, cloud physics, lightning physics, modeling of electrical storms and middle atmospheric events.
