Sažetak
Almost every sufficiently developed convective storm has been accompanied by significant lightning activity. Such storms are often characterized by rain showers, wind gusts and / or hail, but given the spatial and temporal scales of the storms themselves, these phenomena often go unnoticed. In contrast to them with a special focus on the lightning, lightning activity is very successfully followed by lightning detection networks that are very widespread today and offer us very high spatial and temporal resolution. A few years ago, solid link between the dynamics of lightning and the occurrence of hail, wind gusts and tornado was established. This connection is manifested in the rapid rise of lightning activity "eng. Lightning jump" approximately 10 minutes before observing one of the occurrences. So far the method has been successfully used in "Nowcasting", and this presentation will show the first attempts to apply such method to the LINET network archive data for the period from 2008 to 2015 for the territory of Croatia. Verification of method will be done over territory of Istrian County with the aim of extracting climatological features of hail. This climatological approach opens the possibility to analyse hail but also other extremes associated with convection primarily in areas not covered by radar but also in other areas as a kind of verification tool. Further more, this method can cover far greater distances than other remote measurements such as radars or satellites that cover equivalent areas but offer a relatively rough resolution compared to resolution of lightning.
