Cover Story: Information about the location of lightning strokes is necessary for academia and disaster prevention. The method of evaluating lightning stroke points on the earth’s surface is based on the detection of long-wavelength radio waves in the very-low-frequency/low-frequency (VLF/LF) band at multiple points. The lightning stroke seen in the photo was taken by T. Yamamoto (MFRS, Japan) from Japan’s highest mountain, Mt. Fuji (3776 m), and is visually recognizable due to its long-wavelength radio emissions. This paper evaluated the detection efficiency and location accuracy of Blitzortung.org, a volunteer-based global network of lightning strokes in Japan. View this paper
