Abstract

The purpose of this project is to identify the type of flash that is classified as the most dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning where the flash is among lightning flashes that can destroy property and harm to life where lightning can cause injury and death. To determine this type of lightning, one method used in this project is time-to-thunder to determine the difference in time between lightning radiation and thunder sounds. This concept was adapted by using two measurements techniques is broadband electric radiation field and the acoustic signal recording thunder. The time elapse between sensor was used to calculate the lightning distance. The XViewer 1.72 (Yokogawa) software used for analysis work. Based on the results, the average distance is between 3 km and 9 km. From this project, the ability of the microphone to be used to detect the energy that occurred during the radiation of the electric field besides detecting acoustic channel. In conclusion, the overall objective is achieved but improvements have to be made to improve the accuracy of the data to be obtained in the future.
