Lightning Imaging with LOFAR

Lightning Imaging with LOFAR

We show that LOFAR can be used as a lightning mapping array with a resolution that is orders of magnitude better than existing arrays. In addition the polarization of the radiation can be used to track the direction of the stepping discharges.
