![]() There's also a list of external forums for different languages/regions where you can ask your question. Maybe your question has already been answered there. How can I contact you?īefore contacting us, please have a look at our forum. Detection rate is better on cloud to ground strikes, than on intra cloud. It depends on station density and stroke type. However, due to computing errors there may be completely false located strikes from time to time. How good is the accuracy of a located position?ĭepending station density in a region, our accuracy can be better than one kilometer. All maps on are created by MyBlitzortung PHP application, which is Open Source. The yearly flash counts are given in Table 1. MyBlitzortung is the underlying PHP software and is the web page. charges within the cloud, cloud-to-ground lightning can be generally characterized as either: negative return stroke or positive return stroke. What's the difference between MyBlitzortung and ? Please note, that setting up a lightning detector is not plug-and-play, even when it's already assembled. After that, send an inquiry via the form on the same page. Try to understand at least the general idea of TOA lightning detection. Read the project description on this page. On visualizes the gathered lightning data in different variants, for example as overlay on satellite images. What's the difference between and ī is a community of station operators who transmit their data to the central server, programmers who develop software, and people who assist anyway to keep the system running. Unfortunately currently don't distinguish between cloud-to-ground (CG) and intra-cloud or cloud-to-cloud events. The word “strike” is usually used to refer to a cloud-to-ground lightning flash. All other words such as "discharge" and "strike" are more generic and not formally related to the scientific lightning terminology. Flashes can have up to ~40 strokes (typically 3), hence they appear to flicker. This whole event is called a lightning flash. On our realtime maps you will often see multiple strokes appearing almost at the same time within a small area. ![]() Therefore we show the location of lightning strokes on our maps. Lightning strokes/strikes/flashes - what is the difference?Ī single "event" detected by radio frequency (RF) networks like is defined scientifically as a (lightning) stroke. ![]()
