Lightning Warning and Locator Systems
1993During the 1991 U.S. Open golf tournament at Hazelton National Golf Club, in Chasca, Minnesota, lightning struck and killed a spectator and injured five others. After the tragedy, newspapers printed their reports under such headlines as “golf must take steps to warn fans of storms” and “lightning detector no guarantee of golf tournament safety.”

VHF Direction Finder for Lightning Location
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1973Abstract A VHF direction finder based on the technique originally proposed by Oetzel and Pierce for the detection of sferics from lightning has been field tested. Cianos et al. reported a successful test of the same technique using sferics at 30 MHz. In our measurements, sferics in the frequency range 82–88 MHz are received by two antennas separated by

Establishment of estimation lightning density method with lightning location system data
IEEE Power Engineering Society. 1999 Winter Meeting (Cat. No.99CH36233), 1999The lightning strike density level in areas through which power transmission lines will pass is an important factor in designing lightning-proof transmission lines. Formerly, IKL (Tsokeraunic-Level) maps were used to evaluate lighting strike density.

Development of a lightning recording and location system
11th International Symposium on High-Voltage Engineering (ISH 99), 1999A low-cost system for the automatic recording of lightning was developed at the High Voltage Laboratory of National Technical University of Athens, Greece. The system includes two pair loop antennae for the measurement of the magnetic flux density caused by the lightning current, an electronic integrator of the signal, a data acquisition system and a ...

Lightning strike location for overhead lines
IEE Half Day Colloquium on Operational Monitoring of Distribution and Transmission Systems, 1997The author has developed a lightning strike location system which uses radio direction finding techniques to locate lightning strikes as they occur on overhead power lines. The system has been operated as a commercial service since 1989, providing both online information and historical information on lightning activity in the UK and Ireland.

Detection and Location of Intracloud Lightning Discharges
1991Since 1978, the ONERA is involved in basic studies related to the lightning/aircraft interaction problems. One of the first aspect of this research concerns the understanding of the lightning discharge properties and especially the mechanisms associated with the discharges which occurs in altitude.
