OK, these look good.

Yes, but no harm in keeping them.

 ...

OK.  This shows that 216.236.239.157:

- has the data you want
- has allowed you to request the data
- has a lot more types of lightning data than I knew about... interesting!

re: what is your request pattern

> Hmmmm. Well, ".*" should do it.

Agreed.  I would be surprised, therefore, if you did not receive the
NAPLN data.

Given the NAPLNEX Product IDs you got in your listing, an appropriate
pattern-action entry would be:

#         NAPLN1EX-2009_04_07_17_11_00.dat
LIGHTNING NAPLN1EX-(....)_(..)_(..)_(..)_(..)_..\.dat
    FILE -overwrite -close data/uspln/\1\2\3\4.napln

I am assuming, of course, that there are tabs in appropriate places:

- between LIGHTNING and NAPLN1EX
- before FILE
- between FILE and -overwrite
- between -overwrite and -close

No, the NAPLNEX data.  The following Unidata Data page has the information
that WSI provided on the different data:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/lightning.html#uspln

  "USPLN data is bounded by 20N to 52N, 65W to 128W. NAPLN data is an extended
   coverage of 5N to 65N, 52W to 140W."

The NAPLN data should contain all of the data in the USPLN set.  I would 
personally
opt to get the full set not a subset.

By the way, I am curious if the GLN1EX data is Global Lightning Network data.
I was told by our contact at WSI that they would be making global lightning
data available "in the future", but no time frame was specified.  Perhaps this
is it!?

Cheers,

Tom
