A new program promises to will significantly improve lightning detection worldwide.
Vaisala has developed a solution that, through the use of a location algorithm, improves the lightning detection location accuracy by a factor of two — improving the precision range from 500 meters to 250 meters or less.
This improved algorithm, named the Total Lightning Processor, benefits many businesses and operations vulnerable to lightning — including aviation, power utilities, forestry, insurance, meteorology, chemical processing plants, oil and gas, and more.
Additionally, the new product introduces a user-friendly web-based interface with performance tools, which can save up to 80 percent of the customer's time in analyzing lightning detection sensor raw data files and overall network performance. First in the world, it also includes multiple network performance maps and provides dynamic detection efficiency and location accuracy maps. These give critical details of network status at any given time.
