A
storm's
range isn't exactly right all the time.
Lightning/2000™
figures out the range of a storm with different
statistical techniques. Just as pollsters must use a large sample to
accurately predict an election result, Lightning/2000™
performs better
when there are a lot of strokes in a particular storm. Storms with low
stroke rates are difficult to range properly.
Also, the characteristics of a single storm change over time, resulting
in slightly different ranging for that storm.
It's not perfect, but Lightning/2000™ represents the state of
the art
in single-antenna lightning detection for personal use. |
