Validation of the Austrian Lightning Location System Aldis for Negative Flashes
نویسندگان
چکیده
151 out of the 154 negative cloud to ground flashes and 449 out of 540 strokes were detected by the lightning location system (LLS). This results in a flash detection efficiency of 98% and a stroke detection efficiency of 83%. Only two additional cloud to ground strokes (0.4%) were detected but misclassified as cloud discharges. The analysis of 37 flashes which exhibit at least two strokes within one lightning channel results in a median location accuracy of 368 m (STD = 650 m).

Lightning Characteristics Based on Data from the Austrian Lightning Locating System
In this paper, we compare various lightning characteristics measured by the Austrian lightning locating system [Austrian Lightning Detection and Information System (ALDIS)] with those found in the literature. The latter are typically based on measurements of lightning electric fields. We show that lightning peak electric fields due to subsequent strokes measured by the ALDIS are similar to thos...
متن کاملAn evaluation of the performance characteristics of the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network in Florida using rocket-triggered lightning
[1] The performance characteristics of the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) were evaluated using rocket-triggered lightning data, acquired in the summers of 2001–2003 at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT), at Camp Blanding, Florida. During the 3-year period, 37 flashes, containing a total of 159 (158 negative and 1 positive) strokes, were trigger...
متن کاملLightning Density Distribution and Hazard in an Alpine Region
Due to the expected climate change driven increase of extreme weather events, damage risks for infrastructure and buildings are rising. Hence spatial decision-support material is necessary to enhance risk management and planning strategies. The presented study contributes to this topic by means of an analysis of cloud-to-ground lightning patterns and their impact on structural facilities using ...

متن کاملA Review of Positive and Bipolar Lightning Discharges
JUNE 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | P ositive lightning discharges (flashes) are defined as those effectively transporting a positive charge from a cloud to the earth. It is thought that less than 10% of global cloud-to-ground lightning is positive (e.g., Uman 1987). Lightning discharges (flashes) that transfer to ground both positive and negative charges are termed bipolar lightning di...
