NSSL Deployable Lightning Mapping Array Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/626.004

Summary
Data from the NSSL Deployable Lightning Mapping Array during the period of
PERiLS_2023 operations. There were five deployments each containing about 48
hours of data. The instrumentation measured VHF emissions to map the three
dimensional structure of lightning flashes in space and time. The array
consisted of eight NSSL sensors and one TTU sensor. Additionally the IOP4
deployment was near the NALMA and the dataset includes sources identified by
those sensors.
