Comment on Lightning declines over shipping lanes following regulation of sulfur emissions

Comments

I do have one experience with Singaporean lightning, pre the 2020 regulation! I was on a ship that was anchored overnight for fueling right outside of the port of Singapore, and saw an otherworldly scene. I was on the smoke-deck in a storm, late at night. There was lightning every 5 seconds, the port in the distance, horizontal rain, dozens of huge cargo ships around, and some gigantic flames coming from land that looked like Mordor (a refinery or plant of some sort?).

Not sure if the crazy lightning was because of sulfur, but I still remember it!

Smoke-deck?
