Hi it appears that the format of
https://data.blitzortung.org/Data/Protec...s1.json.gz changed recently.
Previously it contained in addition to other fields:
- all
- member
- valid
- used
Now it contains:
- total
- valid
- involved
- used
Is there documentation of this change somewhere?
Thanks,
Ken

er, well, this paradigm has been around awhile... ...if you go to
https://www.blitzortung.org/en/station_list.php
mouseover the 'total' etc column, you'll see a tag with brief blurb explanation... and there are numerous references throughout the forum boards...
Also reflected in the stations performance graphs, as in:
https://map.blitzortung.org/statistic_1....nsparent=0
during the last 2 (?) hours,
Total=signals sent by station
Valid=how many passed server checks initially... best channel data that fits... other channels rejected.
Involved=This station's valids which are determined to be an actual impulse, (detected) when matched with all data from other stations ("detected strokes")
Used=how many of this station's 'Involved' were used to actually compute stroke locations (out of
all signals from all stations,
ONLY the best (up to
17 maximum) signals used to locate

I see so this particular file format changed recently to match up with the other terminology. Great! Thanks, Ken
