  • Abstract
    Lightning is a main cause of electric utility outages and equipment damage throughout the world. In order to base the protective measures against lightning damages on a regional data collection we propose a new approach for computer based national lightning detection and location network. In this paper the operating principles of the lightning detection and some experimental results of thunderstorm activity in Thailand are discussed
