EXPERIMENTAL DISTRIBUTED NETWORK OF VLF RECEIVERS FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MONITORING IN THE BAIKAL NATURAL TERRITORY
Аннотация и ключевые слова
Аннотация (русский):
The paper describes the current state of the lightning location network deployed in the Irkutsk Region and the Republic of Buryatia, which includes four stations. It is based on the results obtained during several stages of the project “Fundamental principles, methods, and technologies for digital monitoring and forecasting of environmental situation of the Baikal Natural Territory”. We present a diagram of the VLF receiver in use. Data processing, features of some algorithms, and the rationale for their choice are described in detail. Developing processing algorithms and further upgrading them have provided lightning discharge maps with a period of several minutes. We present intermediate results of the network operation, a lightning discharge distribution map and give recommendations for further developing and upgrading the lightning location network.
