• Penn State GP-1 Lightning Locator
The Meteorology Department has been given a single-station lightning locating system, the GP-1 (Great Plains-1), that was designed, built, and set up by Hampton W. Shirer, Professor Emeritus of the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. This design is based on the published gated, wide-band direction finding method of Philip Krider, Carl Noggle, and Martin Uman. The antenna for the GP-1 system is installed on the top of Walker Building, and the estimated location of lightning activity within approximately 500 km is displayed in the Weather Station. The estimated locations are obtained via statistical analysis of the received electromagnetic signals; calibration and improvement of the method for doing so are topics of ongoing research. The Web site provides a description of the GP-1 system, together with a set of instructions for building and testing a system. A planned addition to the Web site is a display of the current locations of lightning activity within 500 km of University Park, as estimated by the Department's GP-1.
