Belem case
Figure 8 shows the Belem case. One of our least sensitive stations, Belem is essentially unable to detect for strokes whose predicted logarithmic reference transmission (to Belem) < -2.0 (Figure 8g). Some of western Africa lightning is detected by day, but nothing by night. This is consistent with the day and night model predictions (Figures 8c,f). All the quantitative outcomes of the data for Belem are summarized in Figure 8(g) ), and it indicates the model is consistent with the Belem station’s detection/non-detection.
