Planetnik Knowledge
A place for short articles about storms, lightning, local weather observation, sensors and telemetry data. We want to write simply, practically and include sources whenever we rely on external materials.
What is lightning?
A short introduction to lightning, thunder and why lightning observation matters for the Planetnik project.
How does StormNode help observe storms locally?
How lightning detection, sky photos, temperature, humidity, pressure, GNSS/GPS and API access can create a local observation layer.
Storm radar, detector and local network — what is the difference?
Why Planetnik is not trying to replace radars, but aims to add local measurement context.
Temperature, humidity and pressure — why measure them?
A short text about how environmental telemetry helps interpret local weather and node data.
