New lightningcalendar with videoanimations
time 26. July 2010
New script added. The script is developed by Henkka from Nordicweather.net.
In a calender you can choose videoanimations of lightning day by day, but only if our lightningdetector has registered more than 200 strikes the choosen day.

A little script saved every 2 minutes an images of our lightningmap, and when day is gone all the images are put together to a videofilm and then uploaded to the webserver.
The script is runned directly on our weather-computer and is only working because we installaed a local webserver with PHP (WAMP2 Webserver).

CLOUD HEIGHT
The cloud height on this site is an estimate of cumulus clouds using a formula based on temperature and dew point. Actual measurements of cloud height are made with a Micropulse Lidar (MPL). This device fires a laser into the sky and measures the backscattered signal. Costs for such a device are beyond the scope of weather hobbyists.
