Abstract: A simple linear algebraic solution is introduced for retrieving the location and time-of-occurrence of lightning ground strikes on a spherical earth from a network of four or more time-of-arrival sensors. Since the solution ...

Abstract: retrieval method is introduced for estimating the fraction of ground flashes in a set of N flashes observed from either a low earth-orbiting or geostationary satellite lightning imager. The methodology exploits the fact ...

Abstract: Two approaches are used to characterize how accurately the north Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) is able to locate lightning VHF sources in space and time. The first method uses a Monte Carlo computer simulation to ...
