TRAC settings tab
Thunderstorm Ranging and Acquisition - TRAC for short - is a subprocess in NexStorm that computes
thunderstorm locations, tracks their movement and analyzes trends and characteristics of a storm. Details
about the TRAC process is located in the section describing the
Figure 6. TRAC settings tab
Plot storm targets
Enables or disables plotting of TRAC target symbols on the map. A TRAC target is
NexStorm’s analytical guess on where storms are located. Due to the nature of single
antenna positioning systems, it will not always be correct but will in most cases give
you a fairly accurate positional estimation of a thunderstorm’s geographical location.
The symbols that are used for displaying TRAC targets are configured using TRAC
target symbols settings described below.
Ignore uncorrelated
strikes
An uncorrelated strike is a strike that TRAC was not able to link to any currently
tracked thunderstorm. Enable this feature to de-clutter the map from sporadic strikes,
thus making the whole situational analysis more easy to interpret.
Ignore all strikes
Enabling this feature will prevent any plotting of individual strikes on the map. This
feature can be used when the only thing of interest is TRAC computed locations of
thunderstorms.
