developing a network of Doppler radars with cross-polarization capability
(of which about 30 are already operating) and a lightning detection network.
Another important achievement is the launch and successful operation of the
LS800 lightning detection system in the Southern federal district and the Mos‑
cow region.
A number of factors conduced to the development of atmospheric electricity
research in Russian Federation, including the improvement of technical equip‑
ment of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitor‑
ing (RosHydroMet). For certain directions of research, the support from the
Government of the Russian Federation (‘megagrants’) is an important factor; this
support made it possible to involve world’s leading experts and to create new
scientific laboratories, including the laboratory of lightning physics in the IAP
RAS under the leadership of Prof. V. A. Rakov from the University of Florida.
Over the past four years several conferences dedicated to the problems of
atmospheric electricity were organized in Russia. They include 7th All-Russian
Conference on Atmospheric Electricity (St. Petersburg, 2012), 4th International
Conference on Lightning Protection (St. Petersburg, 2014), 1st All-Russian Con‑
ference on the Global Electric Circuit (Borok, 2013). Russian researchers active‑
ly participated in 15th International Conference
on Atmospheric Electricity
(Oklahoma, USA, 2014), which is held every 4 years and is the world’s principal
international forum for atmospheric electricity.
