The US has a network of over 100 sensors combining lightning detection, direction finding, and time
of arrival techniques into an integrated system. This network is called the
National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) and it is capable of detecting cloud-to-ground
lightning flashes at distances up to 400 km across the contiguous United States
and extending hundreds of miles into both oceans and beyond the borders of
Canada and Mexico.
