What is the diameter of each point? Aka how localised can they determine where the lightning is? Are we to assume the centre is where the lightning is? As I can't seem to find this information which I feel would be quite useful.

    Note that the inaccuracy comes from determining where the lightning strike starting point was from the waveform shape.

    The raw position accuracy at 100 ns is better than 10 m.
