Attributes
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
errorEllipseConfidence | PerCent | Likelihood that strike fell within errorEllipse. |
errorEllipseMajorSemiAxis | Length | Length of major semi-axis (longest radius) of the error ellipse. |
errorEllipseMinorSemiAxis | Length | Length of minor semi-axis (shortest radius) of the error ellipse. |
errorEllipseOrientation | Bearing | The orientation of the major semi- axis in degrees from True North. |
negativePolarity | Boolean | The polarity of the strike, with T meaning negative. About 90% of all lightning strokes are negative strokes, meaning that they were initiated by a large concentration of negative charge in the cloud-base; this tends to induce an area of positive charge on the ground. |
peakAmplitude | CurrentFlow | Peak current of strike. |
