Mapping lightning in the sky with a mini array [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
AbstractMini arrays are commonly used for infrasonic and seismic studies. Here we report for the first time the detection and mapping of distant lightning discharges in the sky with a mini array. The array has a baseline to wavelength ratio ∼4.2·10−2 to record very low frequency electromagnetic waves from 2 to 18 kHz.

Image Navigation for FY-4A Lightning Mapping Imager

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Navigation of images from lightning mapping instruments in geostationary orbits is very important for data applications. However, few scientific peer-reviewed papers have been reported, except a few works in the prelaunch tests. On December 11, 2016, China launched the three-axis stabilized geostationary meteorological satellite Fengyun-4A (FY-4A ...
