| Popis: | The effects of real terrain on the lightning magnetic fields and location accuracy are studied by using two-dimensional finite difference time-domain method. Two estimation methods of wave arrival time (using the time corresponding to the peak field and 10% threshold of the peak field) are applied to the arrival time delay, and then using the ToA technique with three approaches of arrival time differences to evaluate the location accuracy. It is found that the effect of real terrain on the lightning magnetic fields is due to the enhancement of reflection wave and propagation attenuation of terrain topography. The arrival time of peak value method is delayed from 0.15 to 2.3 μ s, while that of 10% threshold method varied from −0.11 to 0.92 μ s. The lightning location accuracy using the 10% threshold method is least, about tens of meters. Furthermore, considering the specific frequency bandwidth of detection sensors, three-order 10- to 500 kHz Butterworth filter was applied. After filtering, the effect of real terrain on the lightning magnetic fields becomes more obvious. The 10% threshold method is still the best way for lightning location, and the frequency bandwidth of different sensors on the effect of the location accuracy cannot be ignored. |
