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.
The short answer to your question is 'Yes'... the smaller the 'deviation' circle, the better 8 or more stations agreed on a 'location' based on GPS timing at stroke arrival at those stations. The smaller the circle, the closer the timing computations resolve. Not to be confused with the
"eye-candy" (if you will) moving thunder sonic front approximation (if enabled) on some 'real-time' maps...
