How Accurate is Real-Time Lightning Tracking on Blitzortung?
#5
I guess I'm not understanding very well - Perhaps I should better define what I mean by accuracy:

Let's say, In objective reality, there are five lightening strokes each at a particular place on the planet in the period of five minutes, in the area of coverage by detectors

How many are detected?

Of the ones that are detected, relative to the actual location of the stroke, what is the positional error? 

Now you say, hey this is volunteer, this is a hobby, this is not a paid service - don't get me wrong, I really really appreciate it! 

But - I think if there is not any actual experimentation, I think that should be disclosed and understood - gospel vs. science. Kind of fundamental.
