Lightning detection and lightning protection of power systems in Japan
IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition, 2003Lightning occurrence data have been collected with the lightning location systems operated by electric power companies in Japan. Seasonal variations and annual variations of lightning occurrence have been clarified from the seasonal and annual lightning stroke frequency maps made by the above data.

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1950
On July 20, 1949 what are thought to be the first photographs of the radar indication of lightning strokes were obtained by the Weather Radar Research Project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The method of radar lightning detection is described, and suggestions are made for research in this field.

Lightning Detection from Satellites
1976The detection of lightning by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) of the United States is reported and two cases are analyzed for lightning flash density. The first is a squall line to the west of Florida on 14 November 1972 (06:27 UT), which has a flash density of 2,4 × 10-5 flashes/(sec km2). The second is the severe storm system of 3–

Lightning strikes on power transmission lines and lightning detection in Colombia
2017 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIV SIPDA), 2017This paper presents statistical results about the lightning incidence on power transmission systems in Colombia, based on a three-years failure record of very sensitive power transmission lines and the LINET lightning detection network. Both, failure modes and lightning detection performance was studied.

International Conference on Lightning [amp ] Static Electricity (ICOLSE 2015), 2015
The Japanese Lightning Detection Network (JLDN) has been operated to observed lightning occurring in Japan and its surrounding areas since 1998. The frequency of lightning flash is an important parameter for creating lightning protection designs. If the location accuracy of the Lightning Location System (LLS) is not good, it is very difficult to ...

Visualizing the geometry of lightning detected by MTG’s Lightning Imager
The Lightning Imager (LI) instrument aboard the first Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite provides valuable data for detecting and monitoring convective storms by capturing localized pulses of visible light emitted by lightning. These detections have a spatial resolution of approximately 10 km and occur at a high temporal resolution of 1 kHz, or ...Pieter Groenemeijer +2 more

The detection of lightning from space
Weather, 2017Earth orbit offers a unique vantage point from which to study and monitor the phenomenon of lightning. Space‐borne lightning detection sensors are capable of detecting total lightning activity during both day and night, over land and sea, potentially filling in data gaps in areas of poor or no radar coverage or where ground‐based lightning detection ...

Electromagnetic Methods of Lightning Detection
Surveys in Geophysics, 2013Both cloud-to-ground and cloud lightning discharges involve a number of processes that produce electromagnetic field signatures in different regions of the spectrum. Salient characteristics of measured wideband electric and magnetic fields generated by various lightning processes at distances ranging from tens to a few hundreds of kilometers (when at ...

LAMPINET – Lightning Detection in Italy
2008In 2004 the Italian Air Force Meteorological Service has set up a modern lightning detection network, LAMPINET, in order to monitor comprehensively atmospheric discharges. The requirements arose from the fact that lightning still represents a severe threat for both military and commercial aircraft; despite continuous improvement of aircraft materials ...
