That's great, I'm glad to hear you're finding the LDM useful.

Global Atmospherics, Inc., makes lightning data available to
universities for teaching and research only, with no redistribution
allowed for any purpose.  So the Naval Postgraduate School could
probably get access to the data, but not the NRL.

The data is distributed from SUNY Albany to university sites via the
LDM, and the contact is Dr. David Knight of the Department of
Atmospheric Sciences, <address@hidden>.  I doubt that there
is any way you can get access to the data that way, so it might be
necessary to contact Global Atmospherics directly.  Their web site is:

 http://www.LightningStorm.com

However, if you do contact Global Atmospherics, please observe the
recommendation in this message about mention of the agreement to
provide free data to Unidata universities:

Thanks.  Hope things are going well with you.
