ABSTRACT:
A lightning strike detection and mapping system which determines the range and bearing of each valid lightning strike by (1) computing the Fourier Transform, and more preferably the discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of the X and Y waveforms, classifying the lighting strike based on the DFTs, and estimating the range of the lightning strike based on a type-dependent weighted sum of the DFT coefficients; (2) detecting whether the X or Y waveform is a doublet waveform and classifying the lightning strike based on the detection of a doublet; (3) performing range correction based on type classification and tail activity; and (4) reconstructing clipped waveforms in order to extend the dynamic range of the system.
