Lightning Potential Index Using ICON Simulation at the km-scale over the Third Pole Region: ISS-LIS events and ICON-CLM simulated LPI

This dataset contains records of lightning events recorded by the International Space Station (ISS) Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) from October 2019 to September 2022 in the Third Pole region.  Furthermore, the Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic Weather and Climate Model in Climate Limited-Area Mode (ICON-CLM) was utilized to simulate the hourly Lightning Potential Index (LPI) over the Third Pole region for the same duration. The aforementioned dataset was utilized in the creation of the research article titled "Modeling Lightning Activity in the Third Pole Region: Performance of a km-scale ICON-CLM Simulation" authored by Prashant Singh and Bodo Ahrens. The paper has been submitted to the journal Atmosphere. In CORDEX-FPS-CPTP contribution no. 17 (GUF), you can find more data from ICON-CLM, such as precipitation, CAPE, wind vectors, and more.
