Lightning striking ocean water - Factual Questions - Straight …
6 天之前 · The ocean covers a good 3/4s of our planet’s surface. Salt water is a good electrical conductor. When lightning strikes somewhere on Earth, logically, a high probability will be the surface if oceanwater. How does a lightning bolt transverse the distance of the ocean from the surface to “ground”?
Why Are Lightning ‘Superbolts’ More Common Over the Ocean?
When marine scientist Mustafa Asfur made a tiny storm in a box, he stumbled on a possible solution to a long-standing mystery: why bolts of lightning are brighter over the ocean than they are...
Why is lightning more intense over the oceans? - ScienceDirect
2020年6月1日 · Many studies have shown more intense lightning over oceans, Although even though the amount of lightning over oceans is only around 10% of the global activity. We show that the salinity of the oceans plays and important role in the intensity of the lightning discharges in the atmosphere.
THE ANSWER IS #3: Why Are Lightning ‘Superbolts’ More …
2021年1月18日 · More than 90 percent of lightning bolts strike over the continents, but the lightning that strikes the ocean can be far more intense. Rare “superbolts,” for example, with flashes 100 or 1,000 times brighter and more powerful than a …
New Research Explains What Makes 'Superbolt' Lightning So …
2023年10月3日 · Here's the crucial finding: the closer a storm cloud's electrical charging zone is to the surface of the land or ocean, the more likely superbolts are. That charging zone is the upper area of the cloud where electrification takes place. Scientists mapped lightning strikes across the …

The damage from the immense power of a lightning bolt is caused mainly by electricity flowing through an object (a tree or person or house). Since the entire ocean acts as a conductor, the flow of electricity is spread across a large volume, and the energy would tend to go around a fish, rather than through it.
Lightning ‘superbolts’ form over oceans from November to February
2019年9月9日 · A University of Washington study maps the location and timing of “superbolts” — bolts that release electrical energy of more than 1 million joules, or a thousand times more energy than the average lightning bolt, in the very low frequency range in which lightning is most active. Results show that superbolts tend to hit the Earth in a ...
Lightning 'superbolts' form over oceans from November to …
2019年9月9日 · The new paper shows that superbolts are most common in the Mediterranean Sea, the northeast Atlantic and over the Andes, with lesser hotspots east of Japan, in the tropical oceans and off the tip...
Salt May Be Why Lightning Strikes Over Oceans Are More Intense, …
2021年1月5日 · Only about 10% of lightning bolts strike over the oceans, but those bolts can be far more intense. A researcher set out to discover how lightning strikes affect water chemistry. He found...
