About the lightning location accuracy of blitzortung.org - kazu - 2024-06-20

If I purchase the BLUE SYSTEM and join blitzortung.org, what would be the lightning detection accuracy within a 10 km radius from the location where the device is installed? I imagine that the more detectors there are near the desired measurement location, the higher the accuracy will be.

Quote:Your station best contributes to the computations if it is placed in a distance between 50 km and 300 km from the discharge. If the storm is nearby, your station usually overrides. Even a very low pre-discharge will cause a very high signal strength because of its low distance.

I've been using the BLUE SYSTEM for a while now, and I can say that in areas with a dense network of detectors, the accuracy is excellent.

if you give us your station number, we will upgrade your status on this forum.
