Abstract

During thunderstorm activity, electromagnetical and infrasonic signals are emitted due to the process of lightning and thunder. It is shown that correlating infrasound detections with results from a electromagnetical lightning detection network is successful up to distances of 50 km from the infrasound array. Infrasound recordings clearly show blast wave characteristics, relatable to CG discharges, with a dominant frequency between 1-5 Hz. Amplitude measurements can partly be explained by the beam pattern of a line source. The ability to measure thunderstorm activity with infrasound arrays has both positive and negative implications for infrasound verification purposes.
