ABSTRACT

For the study of characteristics of the lightning around the capsized “Oriental Star” incident, this paper analyzes the lightning space distribution in the surrounding, preliminary judging from characteristics of the lightning figure out the form of disastrous weather patterns. It is concluded that: the wreck accident happened in lightning highest frequency period, also most lightning frequency region, as well as the biggest negative rather than positive lightning current time bucket and region. The latest lightning is less than 300 m from the accident, leads to a higher possibility of damage to the ship communications equipment by lightning electromagnetic induction, which needs to further strengthen the safety precautions against ships during a thunderstorm.
