Tracking a stout thunderstorms across central Pennsylvania this afternoon, a noticeable trend in the ENTLN detecting a much greater number of cloud flashes, vs the GLM Flashes, granted, these are not a 1 to 1 comparison, this is the most significant and persistent difference I have observed this week.
Near the start of the loop, 18:29z: 23 GLM Flashes vs 28 ENTLN Cloud Flashes
At 18:32z, the ENLTN begins to distance itself from the GLM.
At 18:46, the ENTLN maintains it's large spread on the GLM, 182 to 104.
At 18:53, the ENLTN reaches it's greatest spread from the GLM, 353 to 134.
Of note, during this time period, the NLDN and ENTLN had nearly identical strike counts, for both positive and negative strikes.
