I recently purchased station 1613.  The instructions indicate that only new stations will have an account request link.  Can I get a participant account created and the station moved to my account?

The station was in Australia but is now in North America, I see it seems to be connecting to both regions and reading this seems not unusual to connect to more than one region but some numbers seem a little 'off' ( the used/involved numbers seemed high in Oceania and low in the US for a few days but that is now shifting ).  I've also been improving the antenna/antenna location but the ramp in signals used seems in some ways to be more effected by time its been running?

Lightingmaps seems to have some slight oddities:
https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzortun...on_id=2315 
  Seems to always show 0 strokes & 0 signals, 0% ratio

https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en#g...dl=9;dc=0;
  Doesn't seem to have a marker for the station (are those using the settings from the owner for location or the GPS data from the station?)

Excited to have a station and keep improving its reception / learning more about the signals and processing.  This is a really cool project, thanks!

Hi,
I would have some questions about the meaning of some fields in the files we can download to access to the raw data.

I read the documentation on the Compendium page but I noticed some differences :
- the field "polarity", expected to be -1 or +1 is always 0 ?
- what is the meaning of the optional "status" field ? (which appears to be 0, 1 or 2)
- the status of the signal, explained to be in 3 bits, is always equals to 1, 2, 4, 9 or 12, so it's a 4-bits code and don't know the meaning of it ?

- When downloading archived data, there is a kmz file which is only 20 bytes, so it's empty ?

Thanks in advance if someone could explain me.

Hello to all. Unfortunately due to health problems I had to abandon the blue system for a while. Now I'm trying to start over but I can not remember any more user and password to access his web page. Can someone help me reset to log in again? What are user and factory password?

I want to host antennas on rooftop of 12 stages house in centre of city. A main board will be placed in my apartment, so i can connect lan cable to the amplifier but i can't connect gps antenna for full time. Can i solve this gps problem? For example connect antenna for 15 minutes, receive gps signal and then disconnect antenna? 

Hallo zusammen,

betreibe derzeit noch ein System Red und würde gerne auf Blue umsteigen. in die Warteliste hatte ich mich vor Ewigkeiten bereits eingetragen.
Hat evtl jemand ein System abzugeben ? Durch Hobbyaufgebe etc ? Falls ja hätte ich auf jeden Fall Interesse.
gerne Melden unter (info@kreuzau24.de)

lieben Dank

Hi all, 

I'm not sure if I am correct in my understanding, but is raw data access available to contributors or certain research projects? 

Wondering if our research would be applicable or if it has be done: we are a team in Canada hoping to stop/extinguish lightning caused fires. Hoping to create lightning ignition risk maps by combining observed lightning strikes and observed fires/burned area.

Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone, 

I'm working on a team that is trying to stop/extinguish lightning caused fires in the Boreal Forest, currently in Canada but hoping our research findings can be used across the globe. 


If anyone is a cloud dynamics and lightning scientist, please reach out , we are searching for interested parties.

Hi All,
Moving house and need to sell running system blue. E-field only, GPS antenna included. No enclosure, station ID 1613. Make me an offer!

Cheers.

Hello world,
I use a grafana dashboard, and I would like to import lightning FRANCE map on my dash.
What are solves to import, api? url?
Many thank's

Hi there,

I am part of Pyronear, a non-profit NGO whose objective is to democratize open and low-tech solutions for fighting wildfires, for the benefit of the ecosystems and the citizens.

As a team of volunteers, we are currently working with another french NGO DataForGood https://dataforgood.fr/ in order to explore the possibility to help firefighters better manage wildfires that can start after a lightning strike.

The underlying idea is to help firefighters to specifically monitor zones that have been hit by lightning, by identifying these zones and directing their surveillance camera on these spots.

In order to do so, we would like to know if you could share access to your data services ? (in the end we would need near real time, but we can start to play and understand data structure etc with historical data)

Also, our project does not represent commercial interests and is open source by design.

Thank a lot for your response,
Best regards
