Presents data on registration tool by the density of lightning discharges and the dynamics of thunderstorms in North Asia (60°-170° east longitude and 40°-80° N) for 2009, presented maps of lightning strikes, latitudinal and longitudinal variation of the density and the density dependence of the height of the relief. Also presents the ratio between the number of lightning strikes for different types of central Yakutia.
Keywords: storm, remote monitoring, current, negative ground level, latitudinal and longitudinal course
