Two Clusters within the 200 nm Range Ring

Figure 13-7 shows the Stormscope

®

screen in the 360° weather view at

the 200 nm range. Using this knowledge, the outer range ring, and the
azimuth markers, the two clusters of discharge points on the
Stormscope

®

screen can be interpreted as representing one thunder-

storm cell at 5:30, about 150 nm from the aircraft, and another thunder-
storm cell at 1:00, about 100 nm from the aircraft. The cluster at 1:00 has
less radial spread (in the strike display mode) and fewer discharge points
than the cluster at 5:30 indicating a lower rate of electrical activity. Both
clusters must be avoided.
