Strong
lightning is displayed as blue dots,
weak lightning strikes appear as dark red dots.
The bigger the distance, the weaker the
recordings.
Lightning strikes occur in groups in place and
time, as can be expected.
Some groups of lightning strikes are almost
stationary,
other groups have a large angular velocity which
could indicate smaller distance.
Because of the excellent sensitivity of the
detector, lightning discharges are recorded every
minute of the day and over great distances. It is
not uncommon to detect lightning over Marocco and
the Uraine. Lightning discharge signals travel
farther over water than over land that is why
lightning can be seen before the coast of Florida
but not south of the Sahara. |

:
When the same lightning strike has been observed
from two or more sites,
a tringulation method can determine the location.
Correlation
of the observations from two different sites is
done automatically up to 1 mSec.
This is where the real knowledge of this
detection system has been embedded.
A sophisticated clock synchronisation algorithm
has been developed
A procedure that doesn't need user intervention
at startup.
