CapturedNature Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 1 hour ago, BrianW said: I am sure many of you know about this site but lightingmaps.org is awesome. I have had a few close strikes and they really do come up almost instantly on the maps. The network consists of more than 500 lightning receivers and some central processing servers. The sources of the signals we locate are in general lightning discharges. The abbreviation VLF (Very Low Frequency) refers to the frequency range of 3 to 30 kHz. The receiving stations approximately record one millisecond of each signal with a sampling rate of more than 500 kHz. With the help of GPS receivers, the arrival times of the signals are registered with microsecond precision and sent over the Internet to our central processing servers. Every data sentence contains the precise time of arrival of the received lightning discharge impulse ("sferic") and the exact geographic position of the receiver. With this information from several stations the exact positions of the discharges are computed. When ever I try to open "lightingmaps.org" I get referred to Amazon. Is that the proper link? or, did you mean lightningmaps.org? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty frequent thunder here for the last 10 mins and nothing at all showing up. We need more coverage up here. The green and red builds of the system required a lot of circuit board soldering expertise (which I don't have). The new blue build is a little easier to assemble, but probably still beyond my capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you can get a pulse of CGs as storm pulses up. I don't even remember when my last good FRQ LTG event was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts and quarter size hail. " But the lightning map is pretty meh... Oh well... Lightning not really a major risk with this. Storms haven't really grown to be rather tall (at least tall enough to utilize cape within the -10C to -30C zone. Low-ish freezing levels, steep-ish mid-level lapse rate and modest 0-3km shear enough to help with hail generation in the stronger cores. Dry BL/sfc yielding inverted-v profiles helping with high Dcape values and enhancing potential for stronger gusts within the cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
