FORTE DETECTED A MILLION EVENTS SINCE ARRAY STARTUP

THE ARRAY DETECTED OVER 100,000 EVENTS

BUT WE?VE SEEN VERY FEW COINCIDENCES.

THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS

COINCIDENT EVENTS ARE OF SEVERAL TYPES

THE STORMS IN MAY HAD AN UNUSUAL FRACTION OF POSITIVE CGS (NEARLY ALL)

EVENTS DETECTED BY FORTE AND THE ARRAY ON ONE PASS, MAY 15

NLDN LOCATIONS FOR THE SAME MAY 15 PASS

BUT THERE WERE SOME NEGATIVE CGS

AND WE SAW POSITIVE BIPOLAR EVENTS

WHEN NARROW EVENTS HAVE REFLECTIONS, WE CAN DEDUCE THE SOURCE HEIGHT

EXAMPLE AT LOW ELEVATION ANGLE

NARROW BIPOLAR?

ANOTHER EXAMPLE

SOME CONCLUSIONS
