North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Raw Data V1

The North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Raw Data are used to validate the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the International Space Station (ISS), the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument, and other current and future lightning measurements. These data are also used in convective storm process studies, including but not limited to validation of convection-resolving models that predict lightning. These NALMA data files are available from December 17, 2019 and are ongoing in ASCII format.
