We are pleased to announce the addition of ground-based lightning-observation data from the NORDLIS network, which covers Northern Europe and contain all observed cloud-to-ground and intra-cloud strikes.
The new lightning dataset provides:
exact strike locations and timestamps (Parquet files)
strike counts aggregated to the same grid as the OPERA and SEVIRI data
