 The AD from BLIDS does have a low uncertainty of ± 3%. The uncertainties for the emission factors are estimated to be relatively high, being a default value. Hence the overall uncertainty for the emission estimation of NO<sub>x</sub> from lightning is qualified estimated by expert judgement to be high (>50%). The AD from BLIDS does have a low uncertainty of ± 3%.
