Abstract
A method to generate data to geolocate lightning pulses may include detecting in an environment EMF generated from the lightning pulses. The method may include producing lightning-EMF from the detected EMF where the lightning-EMF may represent the EMF generated from the lightning pulses. The method may include extracting a lightning-waveform-feature set from the lightning-EMF data, including extracting one or more waveform features for each of the lightning pulses from the lightning-EMF data. The method may also include transmitting the extracted lightning-waveform-feature set to a server to perform time alignment on multiple extracted lightning-waveform-feature sets received from multiple lightning-detection sensors and to geolocate the lightning pulses based on the time-aligned extracted lightning-waveform-feature sets.
