Abstract: Medium frequency sferics detection equipment has been used successfully for 10 years. Its usefulness is based an the finding that 95% of the alarms occurred when ≥30 dB(Z) radar echoes were present on a WSR-57 radar. The range functions of the alarms were found to be accurate to within 10% for 90% of the data. The false alarm rate was 4%. Eighty percent of the time that General Increase alarms occurred there were increases in both echo reflectivity and cloud top altitude.
