Figure 4-10. Cluster & Splattering Within 25 nmi
Continue to head away from the main cluster. While the main
cluster should be your primary concern, you should also avoid
any groups of discharge points within the 25 nmi range. Switch to
the other ranges to ensure that there is no thunderstorm activity
along your intended path. You'll notice in figure 4-10 that the
location of random, individual discharge points is about the same
on both the cell and strike display modes. This is true because in
the cell display mode, the WX-500 plots every electrical discharge
detected within the 25 nmi range at the exact location detected
unless the discharge is associated with a cluster of discharges,
in which case the discharge point is clustered with the associated
discharge points. You'll also notice that there are more points in
the cluster of points at 8:30 in the cell display mode than there
are in the strike display mode. This is due to the cell display
mode's clustering algorithm "pulling in" individual discharge points
associated with the cluster.
