Algorithm for automatic detection of whistlers is described in the paper. It is based on the non-linear transformation of VLF signal spectrograms. In a converted spectrogram, a whistler graphic pattern is presented by a straight line, the recognition of which is an algorithmically simple task. Tests of the implementation of the algorithm showed that recognition can be carried out in real-time mode.
Key words: whistlers, lightning discharge, pattern recognition, automatic detection of whistlers.
