Our observational contribution to the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility's Tracking Aerosol Convection Interactions Experiment (TRACER) was the deployment of additional Lightning Mapping Array sensors to provide enhanced capability to the Houston Lightning Mapping Array (HLMA) during the TRACER intensive operational period. To that end, the Texas Tech University personnel (Professor Bruning and Dr. Brunner, and graduate students Jessica Souza, David Singewald, Stephanie Weiss, and Matthew Miller) deployed two portable LMA antennae at locations G and B shown in the map below. The map also shows the predicted lightning flash detection efficiency in black contours, as well as color-shaded very-high-frequency (VHF) source detection efficiency, which roughly corresponds to the sensitivity to lightning channel detail.
Feeds from these sensors were integrated in the HLMA processing in real-time and in post-processing, partially leveraging National Science Foundation support through the TRACER campaign that supported the core HLMA, operated by Timothy Logan.
