WSI Corporation and Unidata are pleased to announce the availability of global lightning data to members of the Unidata community.
WSI Corp.'s Global Lightning Network (GLN) provides high quality real-time and archive lightning stroke data to clients throughout the world. Lightning sensors are located at more than 150 international hosting partner sites, in addition to the detectors that make up the North American Precision Lightning Network (all NAPLN data is included in the GLN data feed). In the key deployment areas, including North and South America, Europe, and Asia/Australia, GLN detection efficiency values are as high as 90-95%, with corresponding location accuracies less than 1 km. Real-time data are collected in a 1-minute bin, and contain cloud-to-ground lightning stroke data and some cloud flash discharges.
We've worked hard to make the Unidata web site more visually appealing and easier to use.
Easier Navigation
We've redesigned the navigation features of our site to make it easier for you to find the information you're looking for. In addition to reorganizing the menus at the top of the site, you'll notice a revamped navigation panel on the left edge of your screen, helping you find related information quickly and easily.
News@Unidata
We're replacing the monthly Unidata Community E-Letter with the News@Unidata weblog. Switching from the newsletter-on-a-webpage format to a blog will give us the opportunity to communicate with you more frequently — and make it easier for you to add your insights to the conversation via blog comments or social media. You'll always see a story from the blog here on the Unidata front page, but click over to News@Unidata to get the full effect.
