Total Lightning Density detected by the Vaisala Thunderstorm Total Lightning Sensor TLS200 network, deployed around Sao Paulo
The 5 sensor network was designed to have an optimal performance in a region with radius of about 150 km around -23.4, -46.6 (north of Sao Paulo).
The above image displays a map of the region between -21.3, -49.9 and -24.5, -43.1. The lightning density (discharges/sq. km/min) displayed is 5 minutes delayed and updated every 5 minutes.
