Abstract
Based on the monitoring data from the 3-D lightning monitoring network (LMN) in the Kingdom of Cambodia (Cambodia), we analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of lightning activity in 2021. The results show that the transitions between the dry and rainy seasons are periods with a high incidence of lightning activity, and there are very few lightning activities in the middle of the dry season. The predominant feature of diurnal lightning activity is the occurrence of lightning during the afternoon and early evening. The distribution of lightning activity is predominantly concentrated over mountainous regions and over the plateau areas, with less lightning activity over the Tonle Sap and Tonle Sap River basins.
