Tahiti case
Tahiti is close to Atuona though at somewhat larger |dip angle| ~ 30 deg. Figure 5 is like Figure 4, but for the Tahiti case. Because Tahiti has operated during almost the entirety of the study epoch, it has more strokes both in the parent distribution (1.94X109) and the Tahiti-detected distribution (1.93X108) compared to Atuona. The Tahiti detections are almost entirely confined to logarithmic reference transmission (to Tahiti) > -2.5 (Figure 5g), consistent with being a less sensitive station than Atuona. Tahiti almost totally fails to detect lightning in the Americas in night conditions (Figure 5e), while Tahiti is highly successful with the Australasia sector.
Again, as commented earlier in the case of Atuona, all the quantitative evidence is condensed into Figure 5(g); the geographical map presentations are qualitative by comparison. And again, the sharp cut-off of the red curve in Figure 5(g) shows that the model has predictive value for Tahiti detection/non-detection.
