National Lightning Detection Network Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/97.029

Summary
This password protected dataset contains the National Lightning Detection
Network (NLDN) data for a 100km radius of Mt. Lemmon during the CuPIDO project
period (July-August 2006). These data contain NLDN cloud-to-ground strokes and
NLDN LF cloud event data with the following parameters: date, time, latitude,
longitude, polarity and peak current, lightning event type, chi square value,
and length of the semi-major axis of the error ellipse. This dataset was made
available from Vaisala, Inc. free of charge to CuPIDO investigators ONLY and
all users are required to abide by the Vaisala NLDN data policy to
researchers: (1) These data may not be sold or shared with another party
outside CuPIDO; (2) These data may not be used for direct comparisons with
other lightning detection networks without approval of Vaisala, Inc.; 3) Prior
to submission of any publication using these data, Vaisala, Inc. must be given
the opportunity to review elements of the manuscript related to Vaisala, Inc.
for technical accuracy; (4) Vaisala, Inc. must be acknowledged as the source
of the Information and data; and (5) There can be no proprietary or commercial
restrictions on the research results and all investigator(s) must be directly
associated with an academic or research organization. Any questions on this
data policy should be addressed directly to the Vaisala, Inc. Point of
