Atmospheric Electricity Data Access and Tools

NASA collects data on a wide range of lightning data from location-specific lightning detection counts to field campaign data useful for instrument validation. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to determine how electricity flows through Earth’s atmosphere and predict where lightning may strike.
