Jeppesen Weather Flashes with USPLN Lightning Datadetected thousands of miles fromthe sensors. The normal detectionefficiency of the USPLN is greaterthan 95 percent with strike locationaccuracy within 250 meters.However, detection efficiency andaccuracy decrease as distance fromthe sensors increases. Even so, theUSPLN regularly detects lightningstrikes as far away as northernCanada, the Caribbean, Mexico andLatin America, northern SouthAmerica, and the eastern Pacific outto Hawaii. The corresponding mapshows actual lightning strikesoverlaid with infrared satelliteimagery. You can see how faraway lightning is detected andhow well it corresponds withsatellite imagery.Beginning in July of 2005, Jeppesenwill incorporate lightning data fromthe U.S. Precision LightningNetwork (USPLN) in our weathermaps. USPLN is a partnershipbetween TOA Systems and WeatherDecision Technologies (WDT). TOASystems designed, built, and installed225 W.
