Zusammenfassung:[...]the detection efficiency varies over the United States. [...]we report only the measured values and caution the reader to be aware of varying detection efficiency over the continental United States, which does affect the measured flash density.We also make no corrections in the flash density analyses for multiple terminations per flash, which are estimated by Rakov et al.
