The Design Of A Lightning Data Interface, Larry Lee Hosto Jan 1971

The Design Of A Lightning Data Interface, Larry Lee Hosto

Masters Theses

"A system for the processing of lightning stroke location data has been designed. The system will be used for studying the correlation of lightning and thunderstorm precipitation. The lightning stroke location system has been developed to gain further information about the cause-effect relationship between lightning stroke activity and thunderstorm precipitation. The system will consist of an analog computational network to find the tangent of the azimuth of the lightning stroke, an analog-to-digital converter, and a computer program which will process and store data on magnetic tape. This paper will discuss the design of the analog computational network and the computer …
