Microsferics project for lightnings tracking

KWOS is participating to the Microsferics project!​ Look the result on the Real Time Weather page.

Microsferics Lightning Detection Network, MicroLDN, is a low cost, high accuracy experimental lightning detection network currently operating in parts of Europe and North America.

By using off-the-shelf electronic components and custom designed signal amplifier electronics we created a GPS disciplined time-stamping device for the Boltek range of lightning detectors, making them capable of networked lightning locating using the signal Arrival Time Difference locating method.

WH31 o DP50 con sensore esterno

WH31 mods2Le stazioni della Fine Offset, come le Ecowitt o le Froggit, permettono la connessione di 8 sensori esterni. Le dimensioni però sono generose perchè contengono l'elettronica, un display e le batterie. E' difficile poter trovare uno schermo solare adeguato o per esempio, non è possibile utilizzarli per monitorare la temperatura del terreno.

Fortunatamente i chip usati come sensori sono dei Sensirion SHT30 che funzionano con bus i2c.

La modifica che proponiamo è quella di portare all'esterno del PCB i segnali SCL e SDA in modo da poter collegare sensori esterni della serie SHT3x.

All about lightning

Studio sull'LPLWS NASA

The phenomenon of lightning is actively investigated since 1752, when the American statesman and scientist B.Franklin one of the first established the electrical nature of lightning. As a whole the picture of formation of lightning is as follows. The terrestrial atmosphere is very good dielectric located between two conductors - a surface of the ground from below and the top layers of an atmosphere, including an ionosphere, from above. These layers are passive components of a global electric circuit. Between negatively charged surface of the ground and positively charged top atmosphere the constant potential difference of about 300.000 V is supported. According to the idea for the first time stated by Wilson in 20th years this ionosphere potential arises from thunder-storms which create global electric "battery". Lightning is a visible electric charge coming from a cloud, going to either another cloud or the earth.  Usually, thunder like the sound you are hearing accompanies lightning, especially during a thunderstorm.
