EDOT Animated Maps

Select from the following month-long animations:

For animation files, the first 6 numbers in the filename indicate the year and month (YYYYMM), the following two letters indicate map coverage (us, nm, or fl), and the final number indicates the minimum number of stations required for plotting.

Each animation frame shows 2 hours of activity.  Successive frames are shifted by 1 hour.

Event locations are represented by pluses.

As indicated by the colorbar below the map, symbol color shows event time of day in Universal Time (UT).

White asterisks (*) show the locations of EDOT sensors.

Lines of events that project radially from either of the array hubs often result from large range uncertainties.

We make no guarantees regarding to the sensitivity of our lightning detections, the accuracy of our lightning locations, or the completeness of our lightning coverage.
