Estimation of detection efficiency of the world wide lightning location network in the democratic republic of congo basin using lightning imaging sensor (LIS) as reference

Abstract

An estimation of detection efficiency of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) in the Congo Basin has been done by comparison of its data with Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) data for the same period from 2005 to 2013. This comparison shows the relative detection efficiency of the WWLLN (DE) in the 2500 km × 2500 km region increases from about 1.70% in the beginning of the period to 5.90% in 2013, and it is in agreement with previous results for other regions of the world. However, the increase of DE is not uniform over the whole region.
