Displaying Storm Data on the Map Page

The Map Page displays cell or strike information

using yellow lightning strike symbology overlaid

on a moving map. This added capability improves

situational awareness, which in turn makes it much

easier for the pilot to relate storm activity to airports,

NAVAIDs, obstacles and other ground references.

NOTE: Storm data is displayed on the Map Page only if

aircraft heading is available.

In normal operation, the current mode and rate

are displayed in the top right corner of the Map Page

and the bottom right corner of the Lightning Page.

The mode is described by the word "STRIKE" when in

strike mode, or "CELL" when in cell mode.

NOTE:

Cell mode uses a clustering program to iden-

tify clusters of electrical activity that indicate cells.

Cell mode is most useful during periods of heavy

storm activity. Displaying cell data during these peri-

ods frees the user from sifting through a screen full

of discharge points and helps to better determine

where the storm cells are located.
