The lightning location results of LERP are compared with the WWLLN,which mainly detects lightning sferics in the6–22-kHz band(Hutchins et al.,2012).Based on the sprite observations in a six-year period from 2008 to 2013 at multiple sites in the United States(Lu et al.,2013),we evaluate the location accuracy of WWLLN with respect to 2838sprite-producing strokes through comparison with the National Lightning Detection Network(NLDN)(Cummins et al.,1998) ,whose lightning location accuracy has been shown to be better than 1 km in the continental United States(e.g.,Jerauld et al.,2005;Biagi et al.,2007;Nag et al.,2011).In most cases,WWLLN can locate the sprite-producing lightning strokes with accuracy better than 10 km(see Appendix A for details).As shown in Table 1,WWLLN has a relatively high detection efficiency(typically>70%)for the sprite-producing lightning strokes in Shandong Province.In contrast,the detection efficiency of WWLLN for lightning strokes with peak current stronger than-130 kA is estimated to be>35%(Abarca et al.,2010).Therefore,WWLLN seems to be more sensitive to lightning strokes with relatively large impulse charge moment changes(so,with a high potential for producing sprites).
