On the other hand, the Raw Lightning Data window, by its
nature, causes flashes (or strokes) to be spread out from the
center of the window to its edges. Because of this, it is much
easier to view details of storm characteristics and structure.
Seeing the relative abundance of intercloud versus cloud-to-
ground lightning, as well as the relative intensities of the
various stroke types is an invaluable asset when judging the
severity of a storm.
Alerts
There are 27 different kinds of red and yellow alerts related to
lightning activity. The first 25 are configured by right-clicking
on the appropriate counter in the Rates window. The storm
range alerts may be configured by right-clicking in the
Analysis window or in the Real-time Lightning window (if the
Analysis option has been chosen there). The general alerts
are configured by right-clicking on the status line at the
bottom of the main window. The alerts are:
• stroke rate
• energy ratio
• stroke rate change
• strong stroke rate
• IC percent
• -IC percent
• +CG percent
• total flash rate
• CG flash rate
