Hi Owen, Long time no hear... Jennie told me that you and your wife just had a baby; contratulations! > I was speaking to Jennie Moody when she was in town the other day, and > she mentioned that you had said something about a new lightning > monitoring network (not NLDN) that had detectors in central America, > and that these data are available to Mcidas users. > > Can you let me know more? Yes, I just finished modifying code in the ldm-mcidas decoders package to handle the old (NLDN) and new (USPLN) lightning data. [...] FYI: Unidata is in discussions with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University regarding the point-to-point LDM distribution of the data. We have been getting the data for about a month so that we can update our packages to handle the data. I took the opportunity to work on the ldm-mcidas package of decoders (pnga2area, zlibg2gini, proftomd, and nldn2md) to eliminate the need of linking against the McIDAS library (so that folks who do not want to install McIDAS don't have to if they want to build ldm-mcidas from source). Any if/when the USPLN data becomes available via point-to-point LDM transfers, we will let the community know. > Thanks! > > Owen > > -- > > ****************************************************************** > *** NEW AFFILIATION *** > *** The NOAA Aeronomy Lab has merged with 4 other Boulder labs *** > *** now known as the Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) *** > ****************************************************************** > > Owen R.
