Modification of the microclimate and fire danger by Berg winds in the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal
Wildfires have the potential to result in significant loss of life and property damage. Mountain wave flow events (Berg winds) are integrally linked to periods of enhanced fire danger. The basis for enhanced fire danger during periods of mountain winds has long been established, supported by evidence from a number of case studies. A fuzzy logic model, applied to hourly meteorological data from four different sites varying in elevation, allowed fo…
Assessment of a Ground-Based Lightning Detection and Near-Real-Time Warning System in the Rural Community of Swayimane, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Climate change projections of increases in lightning activity are an added concern for lightning-prone countries such as South Africa. South Africa’s high levels of poverty, lack of education, and awareness, as well as a poorly developed infrastructure, increase the vulnerability of rural communities to the threat of lightning. Despite the existence of national lightning networks, lightning alerts and warnings are not disseminated well to such ru…
Integration of a Ground-Based Lightning Warning System into a Mining Operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Central Africa is a global lightning hot spot, with the tropical areas including the top 10 highest lightning-flash-rate densities in the world. There are no lightning-locating-system networks available across most of Africa, however, and it becomes necessary to make use of real-time, ground-based lightning early warning systems. Such a system was established in the southern Congo basin at the Kinsevere copper mine and has been operational since …
