Research on atmospheric electricity has been actively conducted since the 1980 s in China. Lightning physics and its effects, as important branches of atmospheric electricity, have received more attention because of their significance both in scientific research and lightning protection applications. This paper reviews atmospheric electricity research based primarily on ground-based field experiments at different regions in China in the last decade. The results described in this review include physics and effects of lightning, rocket-triggered lightning and its physical processes of discharge, thunderstorm electricity on the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas, lightning activity associated with severe convective storms, the effect and response of lightning to climate change, numerical simulation of thunderstorm electrification and lightning discharge, lightning detection and location techniques, and transient luminous events above thunderstorms.展开更多

It is with the advantage of fast convergence and combining with the grid-search-based method to optimize the initial object coordinates of the iteration, meanwhile, under the condition of small measurement errors caused by noises of ToA and AoA, the algorithm performance can be improved effectively. In the Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) environments of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), simulation results show that improved accuracy is gained with moderate flexibility and fast steady convergence compared with the existing algorithms.展开更多
