“…It has been recognized that local orography also plays an important role in producing the strong updrafts necessary for the deep convective events (Bourscheidt et al 2009;Goswami et al 2010). Bourscheidt et al (2009) in their study in south Brazil have shown that the terrain slope has more influence than altitude on the thunderstorm occurrence and lightning activity.…”

“…6a, it can be seen that the thunderstorm activity is also modulated by the orography, which is shown in Fig. 8 of orography has been discussed also by Bourscheidt et al (2008). Third, also from Fig.…”

“…Um estudo realizado por Bourscheidt et al (2008) no Rio Grande do Sul sugere que o aumento na densidade de raios em uma região está relacionado com grandes variações de altitude, sendo a topografia uma grande influência na densidade de raios. Esta relação entre a variação de altitude e o aumento no número de raios pode ser comparada ao que ocorre na região do Lago de Maracaibo na Venezuela, local caracterizado por ser um grande vale -entre outros fatores -onde incidem mais raios em todo o mundo, sendo registrados até 297 dias de tempestade durante o ano (ALBRECHT, 2016).…”
