North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (NALMA) Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.018 Summary This data set contains source-level and flash-level data from the North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (NALMA) during the Intensive Observing Periods (IOPs) of the VORTEX-SE 2016 campaign. The data are in gzipped tar files by IOP which contain columnar ASCII data files. Identifiers * Local archive identifier: 527.018 * doi:10.5065/D6Z899T8 https://doi.org/10.5065/D6Z899T8 Versions 1.0: This release contains the quality-controlled data for all VORTEX-SE IOPs except for IOP7 (1 May). For IOP7, only the decimated VHF source data are included. 1.1: This version includes additional source-level and flash-processed data from the mobile LMA (Lightning Mapping Array) sensors for every VORTEX-SE 2016 IOP.
