STARNET Lightning Data (dat)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/486.002

Summary
This dataset contains Sferics Timing and Ranging Network (STARNET) long-range
lightning detection data from the High Altitude Ice Crystals - High Ice Water
Content (HAIC-HIWC) project that took place in Cayenne, French Guiana. The
STARNET lightning detection network is run by the University of Sao Paulo,
Brazil at the Laboratorio de Sensoriamento Remoto de Tempestades (STORM-T),
Department of Atmospheric Sciences, IAG. The data files are in .dat (ascii)
file format and are contained in tar files by day.
