Sprite Blue Jet Altitude Range Lookup

Observed sprite/blue-jet altitude vs caller independently verified event/method range reference. Exact caller verified numeric reference; signed deviations retained. Caller independently establishes matching units, evidence, method edition and applicability; output is not compliance, diagnosis, work-safety approval, geological identity or validated hazard prediction.

Description

Sprites and blue jets are transient luminous events whose altitude records depend on event type and measurement method.

Sprites and blue jets are transient luminous events whose altitude records depend on event type and measurement method.^[1]

This audit retrieves your exact numeric reference and retains the signed observed-minus-reference difference.

When to use Sprite Blue Jet Altitude Range Lookup

Use this tool to compare an observation with its exact numeric reference. Match the observation method, units, averaging period and independently established reference.

How to use Sprite Blue Jet Altitude Range Lookup and understand its results

Match the observation method, units, averaging period and independently established reference.
Enter callerVerifiedTransientLuminousAltitudeKmKeys, callerVerifiedTransientLuminousAltitudeKmValues, queryTransientLuminousAltitudeKmKey, observedTransientLuminousAltitudeKmValue, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
Read callerReferenceValue, signedObservedMinusReference. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
callerVerifiedTransientLuminousAltitudeKmKeys	Caller verified transient luminous altitude km keys	list of string	Required
callerVerifiedTransientLuminousAltitudeKmValues	Caller verified transient luminous altitude km values	list of number	Required
queryTransientLuminousAltitudeKmKey	Query transient luminous altitude km key; use the exact reference token or coordinate domain stated below	string	Required
observedTransientLuminousAltitudeKmValue	Observed transient luminous altitude km value	number	Required

Supply nonempty aligned unique nonblank reference keys and finite reference numbers. Query one exact existing key and provide a finite observation in the same units. Return the matched number and observed-minus-reference; signed inputs are accepted and no special physical range is inferred. Unknown keys fail.

reference=values[indexOf(keys,query)]; difference=observed−reference

Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
callerReferenceValue	Caller reference value	number
signedObservedMinusReference	Signed observed minus reference; preserve the subtraction order and sign defined in the mechanics	number

Limitations and assumptions

The observations and reference conditions must be independently established. This result is a record summary or stated model screen, not an official warning or a validated event forecast. Reference records and their claimed verification are supplied by the caller; the tool does not retrieve or verify them.

Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above.
