Abstract

In this study, a deep learning method called Lightning-SN was developed and used for cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning identification. Based on artificial scenarios, this network model selects radar products that exhibit characteristic factors closely related to lightning. Advanced time of arrival and direction lightning positioning data were used as the labeling factors. The Lightning-SN model was constructed based on an encoder–decoder structure with 25 convolutional layers, five pooling layers, five upsampling layers, and a sigmoid activation function layer. Additionally, the maximum pooling index method was adopted in Lightning-SN to avoid characteristic boundary information loss in the pooling process. The gradient harmonizing mechanism was used as the loss function to improve the model performance. The evaluation results showed that the Lightning-SN improved the segmentation accuracy of the CG lightning location compared with the traditional threshold method, according to the 6-minute operating period of the current S-band Doppler radar, exhibiting a better performance in terms of lightning location identification based on high-resolution radar data. The model was applied to the Ningbo area of Zhejiang Province, China. It was applied to the lightning hazard prevention in the hazardous chemical park in Ningbo. The composite reflectivity and radial velocity were the two dominant factors, with a greater influence on the model performance than other factors.
