Detecting Sensor Coordination in a Calibrated Lightning Locating System

A number of applications use the information from lightning locating systems. Public individuals rarely have their own lightning detection networks; thus they rely on national Lightning Locating Systems (LLSs) or weather forecasters. Therefore, local LLS is useful for public to warn them as soon...
