Vaisala GLD360 Lightning Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.133

Summary
This data set contains lightning data from the Vaisala GLD360 network of VLF
sensors. The location, peak current magnitude, and polarity are included for
each event in the DYNAMO region and time period. These data are in a columnar
ASCII format and were provided by Vaisala. This data set is only available to
DYNAMO investigators and requires a special login, contact sfw AT ucar DOT edu
for access.
