Does, WRF-chem simulate lightning flash intensity, while all the emissions (anthropogenic, biogenic etc.) are turned on??

WRF can diagnose the number of flash rates. That information is passed
to the chemistry directory to estimate lightning-NO emissions. Please
see the WRF-Chem Users Guide for more information.
