Abstract

This dataset contains gridded (1x1 km) data of lightning stroke observations during 2020, 2021, and 2022 over the US East Coast and European North Sea. Data processing involved intersecting each of the ~26 million lightning strokes over the US East Coast and ~365 thousand strokes over the North Sea within a corresponding 1x1 km grid, resulting in each grid reporting a 'strokes per square kilometer' and 'energy per square kilometer'. For the US, these results are presented as annual averages for 2020, 2021, and 2022, while for the North Sea results are presented as a 3-year annual average.

The measurement of depth of water in oceans, seas, or lakes - GEBCO bathymetry gridded data for North Sea / Baltic Sea - Derived Data

Dataset Hawbecker, Patrick

This dataset contains global bathymetry, or water depth, measurements from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO), converted into the format needed for WRF's Pre-processing System (WPS). The data are read in for the use of a depth-dependent water surface roughness scheme.

The east coast lightning detection network

Journal Article Orville, R E ; Pyle, R B ; Henderson, R W - IEEE Trans. Power Syst.; (United States)

A magnetic direction-finding network for the detection of lightning cloud-to-ground strikes has been installed along the east coast of the United States. Most of the lightning occurring from Maine to Florida and as far west as Ohio is detected. Time, location, flash polarity, stroke count, and peak signal amplitude are recorded in real time. Flash locations, time, and polarity are displayed routinely for research and operational purposes. Flash density maps have been generated for the summers of l983 and l984, when the network only extended to North Carolina, and show density maxims in northern Virginia and Maryland.
