>>1460531If they're using RF to detect strikes, it's possible to get a false positive from a strong, local interference. But you'd think a persistent signal like that would show constant lightning at your location.The site they pull their data from appears to show the detector stations used to triangulate a strike. The more and distant ones that detect lightning at your location, the likelier it is that it actually happened.
>>1460531Well the biggest problem is the detector stations can also detect stuff like cloud-to-cloud lightning miles up that nobody will hear, and upper-atmospheric lightning that is basically balls of plasma almost in space
>>1460531Mayhe you just can't see the lightning.
>>1460659>>1460682Is there a radar that just tracks lightning that strikes the ground then?
>>1460782Weather radar tracks precipitation, which is sometimes but not always a precursor of lightning.
