ABSTRACT:
A lightning detection system utilizes a plurality of remotely located lightning detectors that provide information defining the azimuth of a lightning discharge to ground as well as information defining the strength of the electric and/or magnetic field produced by the lightning discharge to a central office. The central office includes a position analyzer for processing the data to determine the position of the discharge. The position analyzer utilizes either the received angle information and triangulation techniques, or the relative amplitudes of the fields to determine position, depending on whether or not the discharge occurs along or near a line joining two of the remotely located detectors.
