LPATS

Global Atmospherics, Inc's large-area Lightning Position and Tracking System (LPATS) is a highly-accurate and sophisticated computer-based system using a time-of-arrival (TOA) technique for locating cloud-to-ground lightning strokes. This system has been installed throughout the U.S. to form the LPATS National Network (LN2). The precise time that lightning touches the ground is monitored to sub microsecond accuracy at several receiver sites simultaneously. Available data include stroke position, energy, rise time, probability, counting, and ranging, along with color tracking, time of incidence, and storm historic events on a national or regional scale. LPATS networks also currently exist in Europe, South America, and Asia. (en)
