| Description | This layer offers the localization and the intensity of the lightnings strikes observed through the SFLOC method (acronym for 'Sferic location'). A 'spherical' interference is caused by radio waves emitted by a lightning or a thunder. From the measurement of the time of arrival of the interference it can be inferred, through suitable sensors, the location of the phenomenon. The observational network -called Lampinet- became operational in 2004 and currently consists of 15 sensors VAISALA IMPACT ESP distributed on the whole italian territory. In its current configuration, Lampinet measures both cloud-to-cloud and cloud-and-ground lightnings, with an accuracy of detection higher than 90% for amperage higher than 5 kA and a 500-meter localization precision. | |
