Filling up North America

Cutty Sark Sailor:
With El Dorado Hills CA, and Greg up in Livonia online, along with Don, I just pegged my longest confirmed NA strikes... almost to Vancouver. Not bad for these little Red Ferrites down here in KY...
That map really started filling when CA, Livonia #2, and Panama City Reds went live!  =D>

Cutty Sark Sailor:
King Bubba Truck is that you up in E.D. Hills??? You're Cookin' !

For coverage with and without Red stations.

schwab:
With only 5 Red Systems in the USA up and running as of August 4th 2013 why are there more lightning strikes being located....especially north and west??

The Green Systems are not locating as many strikes especially no strikes out west and northwest of the Rockie Mountains.

I have eastern Canada and USA covered up to 2500km (1500 miles).

Any explanation?

dfroula:
The Green stations likely ARE locating the same stuff the Reds are. It's the added coverage of the new Red stations that makes the difference. Both types are contributing to the strikes out West.

Example from a strike near Edmonton in NW Canada from few minutes ago:

2013-08-05 01:28:31.398551485 pos;53.526973;-115.924622;0 fst;1375666110404236618 str;30.24 typ;0 dev;1443 sta;4;4;695,671,681,652


Stations 695 (El Dorado Hills, CA), 671 (Rochester, MN), 681 (St. Charles, IL), and 652 (San Antonio, TX) detected the strike and all stations were used in the calculation. Stations 671 and 652 are both Green stations.

Another example from Washington state near the Canadian border:

2013-08-05 01:27:32.573514467 pos;48.856842;-117.611037;0 fst;1375666051577424041 str;26.95 typ;0 dev;23413 sta;4;4;695,671,681,652

The exact same station set detected this strike as well.

This is a pretty typical pattern for the westerly detections.
