YEAR BY YEAR BIBLIOGRAPHY ON REAL-TIME LIGHTNING DETECTION NETWORKS

This bibliography includes all published papers on real-time lightning mapping systems. It includes papers beginning in the 1970s describing the methodology that led directly to network instrumentation. It also includes published studies on applications of lightning data from detection networks, and network performance studies. Many informal publications will not be readily accessible, however, they give the flow of ideas and studies that have occurred during the history of this instrumentation. Papers are separated into formal and informal categories. A bibliography by author is available. This list is updated periodically at www.nssl.noaa.gov/holle.

This listing organizes papers by year. Within the year, papers are ordered by the first author, then by number and names of co-authors, then by titles of papers.

To be included in the bibliographies, references need the following features:

• Networks of 2 or more antennas.
• Networks are used in real-time operations by agencies providing weather information, services to utilities, forest fire protection, or similar operations.
• References usually include a figure or table containing network-derived lightning data.
• An activity must be performed with the data beyond mentioning their existence.
