UNDERSTANDING AND USING THIS DATA.

The system in use is a single antenna system. Single antennas can suffer problems with accuracy and range at times. The problem being is that you really need three antennas at least 100 mile apart in different locations and some software to triangulate the data to get an accurate reading. Propagation, where the atmosphere affects radio waves and the range, can also cause problems in showing storms closer than they really are or further away. I belong to two triangulation systems and one is free the other you pay for, unless you contribute your data, then you get it free.

The top image on this page is the system I use and is un triangulated so in some cases it may show storms in the wrong position, sometimes it will show then in the right place. The two bottom images are the triangulated data and will show the storm positions in a more accurate way. Strikestar, the pay system, is not shown on this page, this is even more accurate. Use the top image for some of the data and the bottom images for better positioning of the storms. Remember this data is not protection of life or property.
