[Datastream #OJO-979782]: lightning data archive

> Hello,

Hi Alison,

The trouble is justified, we do not archive lightning data. :)

Yes, we provide real time lightning data via USPLN and the NLDN..they have the 
archive and can charge for access or
may allow access for research. They are in the business of selling data, but 
often work nicely with researchers.

Please contact:

    Kim Rauenzahn
    Lightning Product Manager

..for historical access to the NAPLN and the GLN.

We maintain a short archive of non-proprietary data...but lightning is 
proprietary, and our archive is only
30 days. If you do not have success via WSI, we can attempt NLDN.
