Lightning Warning Systems for Explosive Operations/Facilities

Abstract

This report presents a review of lightning warning techniques with emphasis on explosive facilities and operations. An explanation of how each technique is used to detect the presence of conditions that can lead to these discharges, with the advantages and limitations of these techniques is given. In addition, an attempt is made to show how the lightning detection hardware can be incorporated into a facility's Hazardous Weather Plan.
