The ZEUS Long-Range Lightning Detection Network is a ground-based network of ZEUS lightning detection systems across Europe, Africa, and Brazil. ZEUS detects the sferics emitted by a cloud-to-ground lightning strike in the very low frequency (VLF) spectrum (7-15 kHz). The lightning location and time are determined by using the arrival time difference (ATD) technique. ZEUS can measure 70 sferics per second and has a spatial accuracy of 10-20 km within the network periphery.
