Asia-Pacific Lightning Location Network (APLLN) and Preliminary Performance Assessment
The Asia-Pacific Lightning Location Network (APLLN) is a lightning location system consisting of a series of very low-frequency signal detection sites. Since 2018, 16 detection sites have been deployed with an average baseline longer than 1000 km.

A performance assessment of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) via comparison with the Canadian Lightning Detection Network (CLDN) [PDF]
The World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) uses globally-distributed Very Low Frequency (VLF) receivers in order to observe lightning around the globe. Its objective is to locate as many global lightning strokes as possible, with high temporal and

Whistler intensities above thunderstorms [PDF]
We report a study of penetration of the VLF electromagnetic waves induced by lightning to the ionosphere. We compare the fractional hop whistlers recorded by the ICE experiment onboard the DEMETER satellite with lightning detected by the EUCLID ...

Application of the 2σ Lightning Jump Algorithm Based on DBSCAN Cluster
A DBSCAN (density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) cluster of lightning data is proposed as the substitute for radar products to solve the problem of beam blockage in radar observation and the delay of radar products in service ...

On the Use of Benford’s Law to Assess the Quality of the Data Provided by Lightning Locating Systems
Lightning causes significant damage and casualties globally by directly striking humans and livestock, by igniting forest fires, and by inducing electrical surges in electronic infrastructure, airplanes, rockets, etc.

Lightning detection in planetary atmospheres [PDF]
Lightning in planetary atmospheres is now a well‐established concept. Here we discuss the available detection techniques for, and observations of, planetary lightning by spacecraft, planetary landers and, increasingly, sophisticated terrestrial radio telescopes.

Photoneutron detection in lightning by gadolinium orthosilicate scintillators [PDF]
During a winter thunderstorm on November 24, 2017, a downward terrestrial gamma-ray flash took place and triggered photonuclear reactions with atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen nuclei, coincident with a lightning discharge at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power station in Japan.

A fractal model for the lightning induced current on a transmission line [PDF]
This article presents a model of a tortuous lightning channel, and a study of the consequent electromagnetic coupling to a transmission line. We analyse the fractal dimension of the induced current on the line, compared with the fractal dimension of the ...
