The positive IC percent counter shows the percentage
of +IC (positive intercloud/intracloud) strokes
compared to the number of IC strokes in the last
minute.
For example, if the IC stroke rate is 50 and the +IC
stroke rate is 40, this counter would indicate “80%”.
IC strokes are more commonly detected from
relatively nearby storms (within 250 km or 150 miles).
As a storm approaches, the percentage of IC strokes
will typically rise.
When running Lightning/2000 in flash mode, this
counter shows the percentage of +IC flashes, rather
than strokes.
+IC strokes are the more common type of IC stroke
detected.
This counter is not used with the LD-250.
