SPECIAL PATTERNS

Randomly Scattered Discharge Points

Atmospheric instability associated with cumulus clouds, or developing or
dissipating thunderstorms could cause randomly scattered discharge
points on the Stormscope screen as shown in Figure 13-12. Random
discharge points are more likely to appear in the Stormscope system's
strike display mode than in the cell display mode due to the cell display
mode's clustering algorithm. If you observe random discharge points,
continue to monitor the screen for developing clusters that indicate thun-
derstorm activity.
