Lightning Jump Field Test: Status/SHAVE data update

Posted in Lightning Jump Algorithm on by Kristin C.

SHAVE students are currently working to compile the data for each particular day, but here is the summary of SHAVE data collected in each network (using a range of roughly ~200km from center) so far for the experiment:

CO: 195 (0 wind-related reports)
DC: 1971 (413 wind-related reports)
AL: 881 (130 wind-related reports)
FL: 432 (10 wind-related reports)
OK: 1951 (402 wind-related reports)
SWOK: 20 (1 wind-related report)
WTX: 162 (0 wind-related reports)
note: OK/SWOK and WTX/SWOK could have overlapping reports.

The range was expanded for SHAVE data collection so the status of storms entering / leaving the official network area (e.g., “lightning jump range”) could be known.
