Short summary
This study evaluates the location accuracy of a European-wide lightning detection network using lightning events near tall structures across Europe (2012–2025). A clustering approach identifies strikes likely hitting structures, enabling large-scale validation. Results show a median accuracy of ~125 m, consistent with previous studies, and reveal spatial patterns and temporal improvement due to network upgrades. The method provides a scalable proxy for performance assessment.
