Lightning threat information-providing apparatus, lightning threat information-providing method, and program

Abstract

[Object] To provide a lightning threat information-providing apparatus, a lightning threat information-providing method, and a program that are capable of providing a user with accurate information regarding a lightning threat. [Solving Means] A lightning threat information-providing apparatusincludes: an input unitthat inputs observation parametersregarding weather observation data, prediction parametersregarding weather prediction data, and case dataregarding a case that occurs in association with lightning occurrence; an intermediate parameter calculation unit that calculates, on the basis of the input observation parametersand prediction parameters, an intermediate parameterwhich is a parameter regarding physical quantity associated with the lightning occurrence and cannot be directly obtained from the observation data or the prediction data; and an arithmetic control unitthat estimates a lightning threat on the basis of the observation parameters, the prediction parameters, the case data, and the intermediate parameter
