Journal ArticleDOI
Detection efficiency of the VLF World-Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN): initial case study
Craig J. Rodger,Simon Werner,James B. Brundell,Erin H. Lay,Neil R. Thomson,Robert H. Holzworth,Richard L. Dowden +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the detection efficiency of the WWLLN by comparing the locations from this network with lightning location data purchased from a commercial lightning location network operating in New Zealand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance Assessment of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), Using the Los Alamos Sferic Array (LASA) as Ground Truth
TL;DR: The World Wide Lighting Location Network (WWLLN) as discussed by the authors locates lightning globally, using sparsely distributed very low frequency (VLF) detection stations and is able to detect intracloud and cloud-to-ground discharges with comparable efficiency as long as the current is comparable.
Journal ArticleDOI
WWLL global lightning detection system: Regional validation study in Brazil
Erin H. Lay,Robert H. Holzworth,Craig J. Rodger,Jeremy N. Thomas,Osmar Pinto,Richard L. Dowden +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the performance of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLL) with respect to time, location, and peak current of lightning strokes in Brazil and found that the detected strokes have a location accuracy of 20.25 ± 13.5 km and a temporal accuracy of 0.06 ± 0.2 ms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Growing Detection Efficiency of the World Wide Lightning Location Network
TL;DR: The steady improvement in the Detection Efficiency (DE) of the WWLLN is reported on due to increasing station number, which led to a doubling in locations provided from 2003–2007.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral dependence of terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes on source distance
B. J. Hazelton,Brian W. Grefenstette,David M. Smith,Joseph R. Dwyer,Xuan-Min Shao,Steven A. Cummer,Themis Chronis,Erin H. Lay,Robert H. Holzworth +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used lightning sferics from the World Wide Lightning Location Network to identify storms near 362 terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs), and they found four associations of TGFs with individual Sferics geolocated to positions more than 300 km from the sub-satellite point.
