https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/110.097

Summary
This password protected data set contains the Vaisala Long-Range Lightning
Detection Network (LLDN) data for the globe during the T-PARC project period
(August-September 2008). These data contain LLDN cloud-to-ground strokes with
the following parameters: date, time, latitude, longitude, chi square value,
and length of the semi-major axis of the error ellipse. This dataset was made
available from Vaisala, Inc. free of charge to T-PARC investigators ONLY and
all users are required to abide by the Vaisala LLDN data policy to
researchers: (1) These data may not be sold or shared with another party
outside T-PARC; (2) These data may not be used for direct comparisons with
other lightning detection networks without approval of Vaisala, Inc.; 3) Prior
to submission of any publication using these data, Vaisala, Inc. must be given
the opportunity to review elements of the manuscript related to Vaisala, Inc.
for technical accuracy; (4) Vaisala, Inc. must be acknowledged as the source
of the Information and data; and (5) There can be no proprietary or commercial
restrictions on the research results and all investigator(s) must be directly
associated with an academic or research organization. Any questions on this
data policy should be addressed directly to the Vaisala, Inc. Point of
contact. Please contact Steve Williams (NCAR/EOL) via e-mail (sfw at ucar dot
