Lightning Research Using WDSS-II

  • Research uses the Washington D.C. Lightning Mapping Array (DCLMA) & Earth Networks Total Lightning Network (ENTLN).
  • The Warning Decision Support System – Integrated Information (WDSS-II) allows us to view and cluster convective storms in an interactive, 3-D graphic display.
  • We are using these total lightning observations to provide detailed insights into the structure and evolution of convective storms and help protect life and property.
