Abstract

The patent application relates to apparatus which detects in real time the amplitude and range of certain transient events such as lightning discharges, the arrangement being such that a transient event which is capable of producing a return echo signal initially greater than other return signals is detected and the amplitude and range acquired in a manner which permits recording on moderate speed recording devices.
