Lightning measurements have been extensively utilised by power companies, metereological offices as well as by the scientific community in general. As opposed to the Intra-Cloud (IC) discharge, the Cloud – to – Ground (CG) lightning stroke $ a major safety hazard. In CG lightning stoke, the stepped leader decending from the base of a thundercloud triggers the first return stroke. This stroke is responsible for most of the charge transfer within few tens of microseconds causing a current of tens of kA. In this report, we present a novel CG stroke location accuracy of ≈2km.
