Sferics Observation
</dt>
An evaluation, from one or more sferics
receivers, of the location of weather conditions with which lightning is
associated.

Such observations are more commonly obtained from networks of two or
three widely spaced stations. Simultaneous observations of the azimuth of the
discharge are made at all stations and the location of the storm is determined
by triangulation. [[/a>|/a>
