Vaisala Lightning Tracking Software LTS2005 provides real-time monitoring of lightning activity, enabling users to assess thunderstorm cell development, intensity, and forecast storm paths. The software features live looping animations that update lightning locations, customizable warning areas, and the ability to display both cloud-to-ground lightning data and cloud data where available. It supports various alert mechanisms, including audible, visual, and email notifications when alarm conditions are met, and can return to a normal state with all-clear notifications. LTS2005 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including meteorological agencies, air traffic management, electric power companies, and defense operations, as well as smaller organizations focused on lightning risk management. The software operates on Windows 7 and 10 and utilizes data from established lightning detection networks, such as the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network and the Canadian Lightning Detection Network. Additional features include the ability to create .avi files for historical review, import compatible map files, and provide optional ASCII output for integration with other programs. Training and technical support services are available to ensure optimal performance.
