HOW ELSE DOES LIGHTNING “PREDICTION” DIFFER FROM LIGHTNING “DETECTION?
Lightning “detection” systems detect the electromagnetic signatures that are the by-product of actual lightning strikes. Lightning “prediction” senses and evaluates the shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an actual lightning strike. This is the reason why our unique lightning prediction technology has always been able to provide warning before the first strike. According to a leading lightning detection manufacture’s specification sheet, they need three strikes within 10 miles before they achieve peak operation. What if the first strike is right on top of you?
