摘　　要：Based on ground observation,lightning locator and atmospheric electric field instrument data,the characteristics of lightning and atmospheric electric field in Nanchang County were analyzed. The warning effect of the atmospheric electric field instruments on lightning was studied,and the threshold of some atmospheric electric field instruments was adjusted according to the expectation of the warning accuracy rate. In Nanchang County,the annual number of thunderstorm days averaged 48. 6. Lightning mainly occurred from March to August,with a maximum of 8. 8 d in August. The lightning areas were mainly concentrated in the south,followed by the north,and the frequency of lightning in the middle was relatively low. The diurnal variation of lightning was obvious,and lightning happened most frequently from afternoon to evening. Five atmospheric electric field instruments were set up according to the lightning areas of Nanchang County. The average electric field intensity on a sunny day was 0. 06,0. 05,0. 16,0. 07,and 0. 17 kV/m respectively,with certain seasonal variations. The field intensity in June was the lowest in the whole year. The atmospheric electric field on a sunny day also had obvious diurnal variation characteristics,generally presenting the characteristics of double peaks and double valleys. The first peak of atmospheric electric field intensity appeared one hour later than that of relative humidity,and then the change trends were relatively consistent. After the adjustment,the warning accuracy rate of the atmospheric electric field instruments was greatly improved to meet the expectation.Based on ground observation,lightning locator and atmospheric electric field instrument data,the characteristics of lightning and atmospheric electric field in Nanchang County were analyzed.
