Sponsor 45th Weather Squadron (Air Force)
Summary Determine the frequency with which 45th Weather Squadron lightning warnings and watches overlap in time for all pairs, triplets, and higher combinations of the 45 WS lightning warning areas, emphasizing the areas that overlap in space on CCAFS/KSC. Based on the above analysis, recommend optimum lightning warning areas for 45 WS. The optimum areas may be combinations of the current five nautical mile lightning warning circles or new proposed solutions.
