Short summary
Ground-based lightning location system (LLS) networks employ LLS sensors that estimate the direction of the magnetic field vector of incident lightning electromagnetic fields. This work demonstrates how field-to-cable coupling induces currents on the LLS sensor power supply cable shield, which are responsible for spurious (scattered) magnetic fields and, thus, cause errors in the estimation of the incident angle and amplitude, called "sensor site errors".
