CWS Lightning Detector

Saturday, 15 September 2007 10:33 | Written by Administrator |

CWS has it's own Boltek Stormtracker Lightning Detector.

StormTracker works by detecting the radio signals produced by lightning. These are the same signals you can hear on an AM radio during a thunderstorm. StormTracker's direction-finding antenna provides direction information while storm distance is calculated from received signal strength. Special processing in software reduces the effects of strike-to-strike energy variations providing more accurate distance information.
