[0204] This represents measurement error.
[0205] The goal of lightning location calculation is to obtain the optimal estimate of the target's location using observations that contain errors. When the observation errors are small and follow a normal distribution, the distribution of the unknowns also follows a multidimensional normal distribution, in which case the errors are neglected.

[0207] This invention creates a time delay correction table and a parameter correction coefficient table for each participating lightning detection station, corresponding to the time delay correction values and parameter correction coefficients of all grid points within its own region. The time delay correction table and parameter correction coefficient table corresponding to each lightning detection station are used as the information index of that lightning detection station. In other words, time-consuming numerical simulations are carried out in advance. In actual business applications, it is only necessary to query the information index of each lightning detection station, which greatly improves the efficiency of lightning location optimization.

It can be seen from Figures 7a-7d that the lightning current amplitude parameter and the terrain factor have a strong correlation. Taking the lightning detection station as an example, when the altitude of the lightning detection station is similar to that of the surrounding area, the lightning current amplitude ratio fluctuates around 1. The overall area of the lightning detection station has an altitude of more than 4000 m, and the lightning current amplitude ratio in most areas fluctuates around 0.8-1.2. Only in the southern area, the altitude difference is large, and the altitude is about 2000 m. The lightning current amplitude ratio in this area fluctuates greatly in the interval of 0.5-1.5.

After correction and optimization, the lightning stroke position is 328m away from a certain tower of the ultra-high voltage transmission line, the error is smaller; the current intensity of this lightning stroke is increased to-36.1kA, which exceeds the lightning shielding insulation level of the ultra-high voltage line, and provides data support for fault analysis.
