With the comparison analysis method, the typhoon positioning data from China Meteorological Administration and atmospheric electric field observation from Xiamen Meteorological Bureau were used to analyze the variation characteristics of atmospheric electric field and the relation with lightning and precipitation after the landing of typhoon Cimaron(No. 201308). Results show that the dramatic changes of atmospheric electric field, precipitation and ground flash were mainly affected by the rear cloud system of Cimaron typhoon. A remarkable correspondence existed between the precipitation intensity and the negative atmospheric electric field intensity. Lower frequency of ground flash happened during the strong rainfall period. The lightning activity lagged 5-20 min behind the atmospheric electric field variation, and the lightning mass outbreak period was also the most intensive transition period of atmospheric electric field.
