Here are two images, taken at the same time, of lightning activity. The first is the raw, unprocessed stroke data picked up by the lightning detector. The second is flash data after it has been processed by Lightning/2000. The mishmash of strokes as seen by the detector. Notice how it is virtually impossible to pick out where the actual storm is.
The actual lightning flashes. The real location of the storm is easily discernable. The core of the storm is just to the east-northeast.
With the advent of Lightning/2000 v4.6, we have the ability to examine individual flashes and determine when one has occurred nearby. Until now, we have had to rely on groups of flashes and analyze characteristics of the entire group to determine when a storm was close. The breakthrough this represents cannot be overstated. It was thought to be impossible to ascertain the range of any individual flash with the Boltek hardware, but this is not the case. This new technique is a direct result of our years of research into lightning and how it occurs. With further research and development, we will be able to reduce the number of false alarms even further, and determine even more reliably when a storm is approaching.
