Brian VE3MGY Asked:
Does anyone have a site for a real time global lightning map?
The one I used to use to is no longer on the web.
Its always nice to know where your QRN is coming from!
Thomas KN4LF Says:
I used to have links to global satellite derived lightning strikes on my MF
radio propagation outlook but Congress allowed Vaisala
http://www.lightningstorm.com to purchase the rights to the taxpayer funded
stateside lightning detection network and also the global satellite images.
The fees that Vaisala charges for the data is sky high!
I googled this, which is just the US, but may be of some use --
http://groups.msn.com/N2BMP/fullsizerealtimelightningstrikemaps.msnw.
It is also available free from Vaisala at
http://www.lightningstorm.com/tux/jsp/gpg/lex1/mapdisplay_free.jsp
The global data are still available, but not in real time,
at <http://thunder.msfc.nasa.gov/data/LISbrowse/dec03nqc.html>
