Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the thunderstorm that occurred in the Manizales city in Colombia, on March 30, 2012 and makes an evaluation of the possible relationship between the lightning activity of that thunderstorm and the high volcanological activity registered in the Nevado del Ruíz volcano at the same city. This paper uses data obtained from the Lightning Location Network (LINET), World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) and the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Manizales (OVSM).
