United States Precision Lightning Network (USPLN) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/100.017

Summary
Lightning stroke data are collected in 1-hour reports which contain
cloud-to-ground lightning stroke data and cloud flash discharges. The data are
available in ASCII NAPLN extended data format. The reports have been combined
into daily tar files.

Access to this data set is limited to project Principal Investigators. To
request access to this data, please contact us via the info at the bottom of
this page. File 20161030_report.tar has been found to be corrupted. This file
will remain hidden until the issue is resolved. Due to unexpected hardware
failure some files were lost corresponding to days in year 2017. Specifically,
data from the following days were lost: 01/09, 01/20, 02/06, 02/18, 02/20,
02/22, 02/24, 03/02, 03/09, 03/13, 03/16, 03/29, 04/16, 04/18, 04/25, 05/18,
05/19, 06/06, 06/09, 06/10, 06/11, 06/13, 06/14, 06/16.
