“…Reducing flight delays is the second most important purpose of having an early warning system [6]. On the other hand, lightning risks at the airport have been studied using several approaches which include the investigation of lightning flash density using International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62305 stands and launching investigations on past happened lightning accidents at the airport area [7,8].…”

This study reveals the spatiotemporal distribution of lightning activities over Bandaranaike International Airport, the main international airport of Sri Lanka. Lightning flash data was acquired from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) of NASA to investigate lightning activities from 1998 to 2014 covering an area of 30 km×30 km over the airport. Overhead annual flash density was 8.19 flashes km-2 year-1. The maximum lightning activities (57%) with an overhead flash density of 28.83 flashes km-2 year-1 was recorded in the first inter-monsoon season. The overhead flash density of 5.28 flashes km-2 year-1, 16.36 flashes km-2 year-1 and 7.46 flashes km-2 year-1 were recorded in the southwest monsoon season, second inter-monsoon season, and northeast monsoon season respectively. The month of April accounts for the highest number of lightning activities while maximum lightning flashes (22%) had occurred during 19.00-20.00 Local Time. According to the international climate season, maximum lightning activities over the study area have been recorded from March to May and during this seasonal period, the northern hemisphere is in spring and the southern hemisphere is in autumn. Safety guidelines are proposed to minimize lightning accidents in the airport. It is important to concern the regions with high lightning activity and vulnerable time periods to mitigate lightning accidents and to take adequate safety precautions to ensure the safety of passengers and the working crew to achieve environmental goals of sustainable development in the aviation industry.

Air-ports belong to structures, which -due to their location and spatial configuration are especially exposed to the lightning flashes. Moreover theirs dynamic character due to stocked air-crafts, variable in time, has an impact on the lightning attachment issues. This aspect is particularly important taking into account low values of lightning current. In the present paper, rolling sphere method on lightning protection is presented and adequate conclusions are formulated.

“…Yıldırım riskinin değerlendirilmesinde ve korunma yöntemlerin belirlenmesinde 4 adet standart kullanılmaktadır. Bunlar; IEC 62305-1, IEC 62305-2, IEC 62305-3 ve IEC 62305-4 [2], [9]- [12] olarak sıralanmaktadır. Bu dört standart kısaca özetlenirse; IEC 62305-1 yıldırma karşı insan ve yapılar için genel kuralları tanımlar.…”

Bu çalışmada IEC62305-2 standart kullanılarak risk analizi ve koruma sisteminin risk değeri üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Örnek model olarak nüfus yoğunluğu açısından yükselen potansiyele sahip olan Hakkâri Üniversitesi modeli ele alınmıştır. Korunma sisteminin bulunması durumunda risk değerinin, koruma sistemlerinin bulunmadığı duruma göre önemli oranda azaldığı gözlenmiştir. LPD (Yıldırım koruma sistemi) ve SPD (Parafudr) sistemlerinin insanların hayat güvenliği için son derece önemli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler-IEC62305-2, Yıldırım, Risk Analizi bstract-This paper studies the risk analysis and effects of protection systems on risk management based on IEC62305-2. Hakkari University was used as a case study for risk analysis due to potential on increasing population growth. It was shown that protection system (LPD and SPD) is significantly reduced risk value. Consequently, it is understand that protective system are important system to reduces risk of human life.
