More STEPS Summares
Here are some more daily summaries, similar to the last ones, but instead of plotting CG strike locations I plot the number of CGs of each polarity occurring during the allotted time period in 0.2 deg by 0.2 deg boxes. Positive CGs are the solid contours (levels are number of CGs per box - 5, 15, 25) and negative CGs are the dashed contours (levels are 5, 25, 50).
STEPS Summaries with CG Contours
(Edit: 5 Aug 04 - Thickened dashed lines to make them more visible)

STEPS Daily Summaries
I have created GIF, PS, and PDF images of NEXRAD radar reflectivity factor and NLDN CG lightning strikes for nearly every day of June and July 2000. The files cover the 21-03 UTC (15-21 MDT) period, and feature maximum reflectivity factor and lightning strike locations within the greater STEPS region. I plan to add May 2000 when I obtain the NEXRAD national composities for this month. NEXRAD resolution is 2km horizontal. Positive CGs are Xs and negative CGs are triangles.
