To achieve scientific rigor, clarity, and precision, the general approach followed in this research consisted of analyzing the research hypothesis proposed between 1998 and 2002 by H. Torres, which has been tested and published in international academic literature: "the values of the magnitudes of lightning parameters vary spatially and temporally." This hypothesis was then compared with the theory of tropical meteorology presented by Colombian researcher Jorge Álvarez Lleras. The analysis and discussion presented in this article demonstrate the contribution that the principles of tropical meteorology, with a focus on atmospheric physics and based on mathematical models of fluids, have made to the scientific understanding of lightning parameters in tropical areas.
