This paper expounds a development software for the identification of lightning discharge in cloud-to-ground flashes. The study was to reduce a misleading detection of the electric field radiation of a lightning discharge profile by considering the important parameters of sub microseconds structure of lightning return stroke. The software was built-in MATLAB. The development of the software considered the important parameter of return strokes such as peak value, zero crossing, rising time and fast transition time. We used a modelling technique for training and patterning the 19 return stroke from electric radiation field generated by the negative cloud-ground lightning flashes recorded in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. The 19 return strokes data were recorded by using Lecroy HDO4024 with 5 MS/s. The results showed that the software had the ability to recognize the lightning parameters such as peak value, zero crossing, rising time and fast transition time. In conclusion, the software was able solved the uncertainty of the unknown cloud-to-ground lightning flashes parameter.<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><a name="_Hlk508907949"><em><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;"> <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This paper expounds a <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:38">programmed </del></span><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:38">development </ins></span><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">software</span><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:39"> for the</ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:39"> used to do</del></span> identification <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:49">of the characteristi</del></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:50">cs o</del></span><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:50">o</ins></span>f<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:51"> the</del></span> <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:50">lightning</ins></span><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:51"> <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">d</span></ins></span><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">is<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:51">charge</ins></span></span><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:51"><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:MUHAMMAD%20AKMAL%20BIN%20BAHARI%20-" datetime="2017-10-31T10:58">either</del></span> in cloud</ins></span>-to<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:MUHAMMAD%20AKMAL%20BIN%20BAHARI%20-" datetime="2017-10-31T10:58">-</ins></span><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:51"><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:MUHAMMAD%20AKMAL%20BIN%20BAHARI%20-" datetime="2017-10-31T10:58"> and </del></span>ground flashes</ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:user" datetime="2017-10-01T10:50">cloud and ground flashes of the lightning strikes</del></span>.

This paper aims to investigate the minimum threshold for zero crossing detection of the first return stroke in negative cloud-to-ground lightning flashes. The uncertainty for a minimum threshold to be set into a programmed software for an automatic zero crossing detection motivated the author to overcome the problem. The software was built-in MATLAB. The development of the software considered the important parameter of lightning strike from the preliminary breakdown stages until the first return strokes. A single station measurement was setup in Ayer Keroh, Malacca. 41 samples of duration of the zero crossing time were recorded by using Lecoy HDO4024 with 5 MS/s. The results showed that the minimum threshold for zero crossing detection was 40µs with 82.9% accuracy. In conclusion, the minimum threshold of zero crossing detection of the first return stroke in negative cloud-to-ground was determined.

The mechanism on how lightning detection system (LDS) operated never been exposed by manufacturer since it was confidential. This scenario motivated the authors to explore the issue above by using MATLAB to develop autoanalysis software based on the feature extraction. This extraction is intended for recognizing the parameters in the first return stroke, and compare the measurement between the autoanalysis software and the manual analysis. This paper is a modification based on a previous work regarding autoanalysis of zero-crossing time and initial peak of return stroke using features extraction programming technique. Further, the parameter on rising time of initial peak is added in this autoanalysis programming technique. Finally, the manual analysis using WaveStudio (LeCroy product) of those two lightning parameters is compared with autoanalysis software. This study found that the autoanalysis produce similar result with the manual analysis, hence proved the reliability of this software.
