   Hi Jack,

   I couldn’t find anything on the technology which acquires the data on the lightning measurements. How are these measured and quantified and then displayed on the map,

   Thanks in advance for your help,

   Mark

     Hi Mark,
     While I can’t go into super detailed specifics about where our lightning data comes from and how exactly it’s calculated, I can point you to this resource for the National Lightning Detection Network which gives some insight into the sensor network used to produce these maps: https://www.vaisala.com/sites/default/files/documents/MET-G-NLDN-Brochure-B210412EN-E_Low.pdf hopefully that is helpful!
     Best,
     Jack
