Abstract
Lightning detection data is a kind of distributed information with high real-timeliness. After the lightning events are detected by the lightning detection network, the original detection data need to be collected and concentrated rapidly and timely for unified management and processing. In this paper, an online monitoring and transmission system for lightning detection information is presented. The system consists of two major components: the remote monitoring module and the response & transmission module. File system watcher (FSW) tool and the trigger mechanism are applied to the remote monitoring module to watch the generation of lightning detection data both in file directory or database. And then the newest origin detection data can be transmitted to the detection center of the lightning detection network by the response & transmit module based on the communication network. The proposed system is developed and exemplified in Wuhan lightning detection network, China. The application results indicates that the system is reliable and reasonable in the online monitoring and transmission for lightning detection data, which can provide a strong support to the lightning detection network
Highlights
Lightning is a kind of weather phenomena which can cause huge destruction in a very short time
After the trigger has been created by the remote monitoring module, it will be executed when a new row of original detection data is inserted into the specified table, and the response for the data generation could be completed by the statements that written in the [Response Statement]
The online monitoring and transmission system was tested both on a simulate network and the lightning detection network of Wuhan, China
Summary
Lightning is a kind of weather phenomena which can cause huge destruction in a very short time. A large amount of detection data may be generated in a short period of time at multiple detection stations, which leads to the poor performance and low efficiency in the artificial monitoring and transmission method. In order to improve the traditional data collection approach for lightning detection work, this paper tries to design and develop an online monitoring and transmission system at the detection center. This system can provide a continuous remote monitoring from the detection center to each station based on the communication network between them, and collect all the generated data at the detection center automatically. On the basis of that, the real-time processing for the origin detection data can be achieved
