How Accurate is Real-Time Lightning Tracking on Blitzortung?
#1
I have a question, and I don't mean to be antagonistic.  I am a sailor. I have been sailing around the globe for many years and I try to use all of the available information to me to inform my decision making.  In the tropics,  particularly near the equator, lightning is a very real risk.  I have had three strikes within 200m of me, and a direct strike is on the order of $50,000USD and 1 year of time to repair.  I know four friend boats that have been hit.  

My question is this - and please if you have something to contribute, talk about independent observations to calculated results.  Not about "here's the math for the calculated result"

How is  accuracy measured with this platform?  In simple terms - if there is a set of data that represents real actual strikes  or cloud-to-cloud - position and time that we've used to validate?
