Lightning Observations at Orlando International Airport

本研究的目的是测量闪电 使用射频干涉仪的信道， 在奥兰多国际机场附近部署的协调实地试验 Airport. 这种干涉仪能够测量水平方向 结构和演变的闪电放电，将比较 与一个法国团队测量的三维模型相比较， 另一个干涉仪。 这两个系统都配备了自动 这将使结构和进化的一个过程， 放电，以显示它的发展。 同源 用三个多普勒观测空气运动和降水 雷达将大大有助于雷暴的解释 结构和闪电活动。

The objective of this research is the measurement of lightning channels using a radio frequency interferometer during a coordinated field experiment deployed near Orlando International Airport. This interferometer, capable of measuring the horizontal structure and evolution of lightning discharges, will be compared with the three dimensional ones measured by a French team using another interferometer. Both systems are equipped with automatic processing which will enable the structure and evolution of an electrical discharge to be displayed as it develops. Cognate observations of air motions and precipitation by three doppler radars will greatly benefit the interpretation of thunderstorm structure and lightning activity.
