WxLLS provides hardware, software, and scientific content for building a single station lightning location system. The azimuth to the strike location is determined using an orthogonal magnetic loop antenna. The distance to the strike is determined using various properties of the vertical electric field with the vertical electric field being sensed by a parallel plate antenna. The type of lightning strike, CG versus NonCG, is determined by using various properties of the electric and magnetic fields. Research continues on improving the distance accuracy, however, the direction is very accurate. Before becoming involved realize that total material costs are about $3000.

Features

  • Software in C++.
