Real-Time Hyperbolic System for Detection and Location of Thunderstorms
H. A. Poehler · Scholarly Commons (Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University) · 1980
The design and performance characteristics of a real-time, time-of-arrival lightning detection and ranging system (LDAR) are presented. To illustrate the Systems' capabilities, comparisons of LDAR data with thunderstorm data taken by weather radar, with groundstrike location, and with airborne electric field strength, air turbulence, updraft/downdrafts, and satellite IR photos of thunderstorms are presented.
