• The global lightning-induced nitrogen oxides source (2007, background): “, 1997b), but detailed studies of lightning flashes show that flashes may be far longer (Defer et al., 2001; Thery, 2001; Thomas et al., 2004), see Fig.”
• Theory and Observations of Controls on Lightning Flash Size Spectra (2013, methodology): “This study quantitatively tests these past anecdotal observations using LMA data for two supercell storms that occurred in Oklahoma in 2004.”
• The Electrical Structure of Two Supercell Storms during STEPS (2005, methodology): “The in-cloud structure of lightning flashes and estimates of the location of the thunderstorm charge involved in lightning activity were obtained from the Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) (Rison et al. 1999; Krehbiel et al. 2000; Thomas et al. 2004).”
• The relationship between lightning activity and ice fluxes in thunderstorms (2008, methodology): “[10] During STEPS total lightning activity was detected by the deployable Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMIMT) [ Thomas et al., 2004 ].”
• Lightning location relative to storm structure in a leading‐line, trailing‐stratiform mesoscale convective system (2005, methodology): “[57] Rison et al. [1999] discussed the validity of using the point-source model for nearly all pulses, and this has been verified through direct measurements of the location accuracy of the LDAR and LMA by Maier et al. [1995] and Thomas et al. [2002] , respectively.”
