Hi,

I would like to create a iOS application using the data from Blitzortung, but, after some search, I can't find any information about where I can find the data... I know that the two "live maps" (from LightningMaps.org & Blitzorkung.org) use a websocket service for the data, but I don't know if I can use it in my app...

Is anyone here can tell me where I can find these informations?

Thanks in advance

Guten Tag,

habe die Bitte, ob sich mal jmd. von den Profis meine Daten ansehen kann. Ich betreibe die Station 634 in Ochtrup

Nun habe ich gerade mal meine Statistik angeschaut und habe gesehen, dass ich folgende Daten habe:

Allgemeine Statistiken der letzten Stunde

• Station aktiv:ja
  
  
• Letzte Aktualisierung:vor 13,4 Minuten
  
  
• Letzter detektierter Blitz:04.07.2015 12:09:06 UTC
  
  
• Blitze:231 (Liste)
  
  
• Signale:418
  
  
• Ortungsquote:55,3%
  
  
• Blitzquote:4,2% (Karte)
  
  
• "Eigene" Blitze:0 (0,0%)
  

The Europe view on lightningmaps.org doesn't show any strikes if zoomed in. You used to be able to do this fine. Does anyone know a fix?

Hi,

just joined to the forum :-)

I am looking for a future opportunity to setup my monitoring station behind a remote internet connection. I am interested of the system BLUE when it comes available - hopefully later this year.

Do we have any preliminary information (possibly from development team) how good this equipment is for handling nearby RF fields? I got some comments from local amateur radio operators, that the VLF area where BO hardware operates, would be not so easily disturbed...

I mean the frequencies, for example in HF band roughly 3.5 to 30MHz, that is used for the ham radio operators. I ask this because the planned location of the station, would be same as the location of my RF-transmitters. The power levels feed on antennas at HF would be estimated 50...100W max. Maybe in a future I could install some VHF/UHF transmitters also...

thanks,

When zooming in on the maps so that the scale is 1000 feet (or 200 meters), the colored lightning strike dots will be surrounded by circles. The circles are different sizes. What does this mean? Is the position of the strike calculated more accurately, the smaller the circle?

This is my first post, and I didn't see this addressed elsewhere.

I know I can't apply to get the kit yet, until Blue is available, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

I've just moved house, and might be able to host a detector. The problem is, within about 15m of my house on the other side of my garden fence, is an electric railway (which operates at 1500v DC, if that makes a difference).

I'm near a station, so the trains are often pulling quite a large amount of current as the accelerate away from it, and they can usually be seen to make quite large sparks on the overhead line as they do so. Would this sort of thing, in close proximity to a detector, cause a problem?

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can help me.
I'm researching an event from last night where a series of lightning strikes occurred within a small window of time. I've been able to pinpoint and capture the strikes using lightningmaps.org but need help interpreting the data!  Could one of you experts help out a newbie with an easy bunch of questions?  

Thank you in advance!

Current storm near Seattle is showing on Blitzorung (inset) but not on LightningMap.org

Seems that radar really slows down my lightningmaps display.
I recall in earlier months being able to toggle radar on and off, and kept it off.
Now I seem to be unable to find where to turn radar display off.
Any help?

Today i recognized wrong "percent values" for "Effectivity L".

Higher stroke value is not a higher percent value.
Yesterday ist was all OK!
