Hi - someone posted this link:
http://www.isleofwightweather.co.uk/live_storm_data.htm which links to live data from an Isle-Of-White based lightning detector. And jolly good it is too. What I was wondering is: is there a directory of similar units in different locations? I'd like one a little closer to my location (Stafford). Out of interest, how does the accuracy drop off over range? Thanks.

Out of interest, is there a zoomed option? I love the Bramshall tornado stuff you have there. Very impressive.

Burton-on-Tent http://www.ukstorms.com/ Click on "Station Weather Data", "Boltek Storm Tracker - Lightning Data" Out of interest, how does the accuracy drop off over range? Quite considerably, I would think, as range would appear to be estimated according to received energy, which falls off according to the inverse square law. JPG Thanks. Jim |

I used to use the Nexstorm software, great internet interface but not as good for analysis of the data so I moved to Lightning 2000. Great for me... not so good for visitors to the site. Bramshall was a good one, I was less than 2 min away from it.... when it happened. Gutted! Steve The UK SpeedTrap Guide" @ www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk The UK Weather Guide" @ www.ukstorms.com |
