• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Lightning/2000 program. I have been playing with the program we have here at Ohio University and have overtaken maintaining it. I have tweaked the range scaling to make it more accurate and have gotten it much better than it used to be. However it will still project flashes off about a hundred miles to close. Sometimes it will be right on, usually with a larger cluster of storms but not every time. The range scaling is divided up into four sectors formed by me after determining the way the detector picks up flashes in storm scenerios. I have also changed the angular influence to 11 degrees and the time influence to five minutes. I was wondering if there was anyone else who has accurately been able to portray the flashes onto the map. If anyone at all has any insight I would gladly appreciate it!

You can see the live freeze frames from the program itself at http://www.scalialab.com/lightning.html
