Abstract :
Comparison measurements with a mobile lightning current detection system and measuring station used for scientific purposes were carried out. The mobile system including sensors, data acquisition and transmission are described. The lightning current parameters recorded during comparative measurements are analyzed. The results are in line with the lightning current statistics. Mainly upward initiated flashes were measured.
