Dumb question time. Why exclude cloud-to-cloud? Wouldn't that type of
lightning also indicate conditions one would wish to avoid?
The official answer is "where would you plot it???"
Azimuth: Where the strike is strongest. Distance: Based upon strength.
Aren't these how strikefinders handle cloud-to-ground strikes?
Some of the newer models have a feature that allows you to temporarily
disable the suppression feature. This was in response to pilot requests
(pilots who got tired of seeing a lot of lightning and NOTHING showing up
on the screen).
Yes, well, that would bug me too laugh!
