The SUNY-Albany detection network now consists of thirty direction finders recording most of the cloud-to-ground flashes from Maine to Florida and as far west as the Mississippi River. Several research projects will be conducted to better understand the meteorological and physical characteristics of lightning. These include, for example, the luminosity characteristics of triggered and natural lightning, the physical characteristics of lightning in the "Lake effect" snowstorms and in the regions of moisture convergence and cyclonic surface vorticity in severe storms, and an evaluation of the reported positive lightning ground flashes recorded throughout the year by the network.

纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校的探测网络现在由30个测向仪组成，记录了从缅因州到佛罗里达州以及远至密西西比河以西的大部分云对地闪光。将进行几个研究项目，以更好地了解闪电的气象和物理特征。例如，这些资料包括触发闪电和自然闪电的光度特征，“湖效应”雪暴中闪电的物理特征，以及严重风暴中水汽汇聚和气旋地面涡度区域的闪电物理特征，以及对该网络全年记录的已报告的正闪电地面闪电的评估。
