abstract = "Analysis was performed to search all CG lightning most likely to
cause wildfires up to 72 h before the fire and within 1.5 km of
ignition point detected from each active fire in remote sensing
data. The results address some scientific aspects of lightning and
wildfires and the connections between the two. The electrical
characteristics of the lightning candidates showed negative
polarity and peak current below 15 kA. The holdover time between
lightning and fire detection was less than 10 h while the spatial
distance between lightning candidates and active fires was less
than 1 km. This approach provides a useful tool to support the
local fire managers in decision-making regarding fire management
and identifying the ignition sources of wildfires in protected
areas.",
