OKLMA HDF5 Flash Data and NetCDF Grids
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/353.202

Summary
This dataset is comprised of lightning flash statistics derived from the
original VHF measurements provided by the Oklahoma Lightning Mapping Array.
These include 2-minute time series of flash count and size statistics derived
from the flash data, as well as statistics of pixels in the 5-minute gridded
flash product data. The time period covered by the data: Specific IOPs from
May 14, 2012 through June 30, 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds and
Chemistry Experiment (DC3).
