AWIPS II Advantages over AWIPS I
• AWIPS versus AWIPS II– AWIPS smoothes data– AWIPS II preserves raw data– Lightning maxima preserved
• Advantages– Improved detection of lightning jumps– Improved awareness of storm electrification
• Bottom line: Improved lightning safety!
AWIPS – 86 sources
AWIPS II – 113 sources
