Case study: BLIDS
BLIDS, the Lightning Information Service from Siemens, locates lightning storms in Germany and other European countries.
In addition to the paid subscription, the BLIDS spy provides a set of free overview thunderstorm maps for Germany and other European countries. Based on over 155 measuring stations distributed throughout Europe, lightning strikes can be located with an accuracy of up to 200 meters. Siemens will provide an updated map every 15 minutes via BLIDS Spion, showing all lightning strikes of the last two hours.
