abstract = {Since their introduction 22 years ago, lightning mapping
arrays (LMA) have played a central role in the investigation
of lightning physics. Even in recent years with the
proliferation of digital interferometers and the
introduction of the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) radio
telescope, LMAs still play an important role in lightning
science. LMA networks use a simple windowing technique that
records the highest pulse in either 80 μs or 10 μs fixed
windows in order to apply a time-of-arrival location
technique. In this work, we develop an LMA-emulator that
uses lightning data recorded by LOFAR to simulate an LMA,
and we use it to test three new styles of pulse windowing.
We show that they produce very similar results as the more
traditional LMA windowing, implying that LMA lightning
mapping results are relatively independent of windowing
technique. In addition, each LMA station has its
GPS-conditioned clock. While the timing accuracy of GPS
receivers has improved significantly over the years, they
still significantly limit the timing measurements of the
LMA. Recently, new time-of-arrival techniques have been
introduced that can be used to self-calibrate systematic
offsets between different receiving stations. Applying this
calibration technique to a set of data with 32 ns
uncertainty, observed by the Colorado LMA, improves the
timing uncertainty to 19 ns. This technique is not limited
to LMAs and could be used to help calibrate future
multi-station lightning interferometers.},
