Abstract
The described AFCRC experimental ‘hyperbolic direction finder’ consists of an array of sferic receivers in the New England area, connected by wide-band data links so that microsecond differences in pulse arrival time can be measured. The hyperbolic directions can be determined from the time differences. In a series of coordinated runs, individual sferics originating in western Europe were observed by both the New England net and the sferics net of the British Meteorological Office. The BMO furnished the geographic coordinates of the lightning strokes so that measurements of position could be compared. Tabulated results for 150 sferics show an average absolute deviation from the mean of only 31 nautical miles.
