Jeppesen Weather Flashes with USPLN Lightning Data detected thousands of miles from the sensors. The normal detection efficiency of the USPLN is greater than 95 percent with strike location accuracy within 250 meters. However, detection efficiency and accuracy decrease as distance from the sensors increases. Even so, the USPLN regularly detects lightning strikes as far away as northern Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America, northern South America, and the eastern Pacific out to Hawaii. The corresponding map shows actual lightning strikes overlaid with infrared satellite imagery. You can see how far away lightning is detected and how well it corresponds with satellite imagery. Beginning in July of 2005, Jeppesen will incorporate lightning data from the U.S. Precision Lightning Network (USPLN) in our weather maps. USPLN is a partnership between TOA Systems and Weather Decision Technologies (WDT). TOA Systems designed, built, and installed 225 W.

The USPLN uses innovative technology that allows the detection of both cloud to ground (CG) lightning as well as within cloud (CC, IC, CA) lightning. Normally, more than 70 percent of all lightning strikes are within cloud type lightning, which is very pertinent to aviation. Previously, only cloud to ground lightning data was available from the National Lightning Detection Network operated by Vaisala (formerly Global Atmospherics Incorporated). Jeppesen will provide the total lightning picture that is available from the USPLN. Another benefit that the USPLN offers is an extended geographic coverage. The USPLN network consists of approximately 90 sensors across the United States.

In areas outside of the NEXRAD radar network, lightning data is the best way to determine if convective activity and thunderstorms are present. Our display software allows us to show past lightning as well as current activity, so we can see trends in the activity. This is helpful in determining if a thunderstorm is growing or decaying and showing the movement of the active cells. We feel that the addition of the USPLN lightning data to Jeppesen weather products is another step in providing the best aviation weather information to our customers. With the recent additions of a NEXRAD forecast product, worldwide turbulence and icing maps, and now the USPLN lightning data, Jeppesen is at the forefront of state of the art aviation weather products.
