Lightning Mapping Array Flash Detection Performance With Variable Receiver Thresholds [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres, 2016 AbstractThis study characterizes Lightning Mapping Array performance for networks that participated in the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry field program using new Monte Carlo and curvature matrix model simulations. These open‐source simulation tools are readily adapted to real‐time operations or detailed studies of performance.
