About the lightning detector

The picture at the left depicts the antenna (black box, above) and the PCI card to analyze the data coming from the antenna. The software to further analyze and plot the data is Astrogenic NexStorm V1.51.0.2402:PCI.

The system records four types of lightning:

+CG Positive cloud to ground strike.
-CG Negative cloud to ground strike.
+IC Positive in cloud or intracloud strike.
-IC Negative in cloud or intracloud strike.

Tom at carterlake.org has an excellent writeup on lightning detection.

Our lightning data is submitted to StrikeStarUS.com for the USA, SouthWest and NorthWest maps and summarized for presentation here by WASP2 (V1.1.2633.34937) from Astrogenic.
