Optimization methods for locating lightning flashes using magnetic direction finding networksTechniques for producing best point estimates of target position using direction finder bearing information are reviewed. The use of an algorithm that calculates the cloud-to-ground flash location given multiple bearings is illustrated and the position errors are described. This algorithm can be used to analyze direction finder network performance.
