Lightning Mapping Arrays: Technical Status and Developments

Real Time Processing and Display
●
Full Data: typically one trigger every 80 µs
●
Real-time Decimated data: one trigger every 400 µs
– Data links typically not fast enough
– Cannot process 12-station real-time data in real time
●
For an active storm, number of decimated sources about one third the
total of the full data set
●
A few second to a few minute delay in source location generation
