The main results of scientific research within the framework of the DAAD program «Research Stay for University Academics and Scientists» at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) are presented. Cloud-toground lightning destroy buildings, turn off power lines, disable expensive equipment, and also injure people and even kill people. Lightning activity has a spatial and temporal inhomogeneity. The studies were devoted to the analysis of the causes of the inhomogeneity spatial distribution of thunderstorm activity over the territory of Central Europe for the period 2001-2014. Conclusions are drawn about the influence of not only the characteristics of the state of the atmosphere, including favorable synoptic conditions, on the spatial inhomogeneity of thunderstorm activity, but also the influence of the underlying surface, in particular of different types of landscapes (city, forest, field, lakes, etc.). The results obtained can be used to indirectly estimate the spatial distribution of thunderstorm activity characteristics over areas not equipped with lightning detection systems. In addition, the specifics of the teaching of meteorological disciplines at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have been studied. The experience gained will help improve the teaching of «Meteorology and Climatology » at the Tomsk State Pedagogical University and involve students in scientific research.
