LIS/OTD 2.5 Degree Low Resolution Time Series (LRTS) V2.3.2015

The LIS/OTD 2.5 Degree Low Resolution Time Series (LRTS) contains a variety of gridded climatologies of total lightning flash rates obtained from two lightning detection sensors - the spaceborne Optical Transient Detector (OTD) on Orbview-1 and the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. The long LIS (equatorward of about 38 degree) record makes the merged climatology most robust in the tropics and subtropics, while the high latitude data is entirely from OTD. The LRTS dataset include flash rate time series data in MP4 format.

LIS/OTD 2.5度低分辨率时间序列数据集（LRTS）汇集了由两种闪电检测传感器获取的多种格网化总闪电闪光率气候学数据：一是搭载于Orbview-1的太空光学瞬变探测器（OTD），二是热带降雨测量任务（TRMM）卫星上的闪电成像传感器（LIS）。其中，LIS的长期记录（约38度赤道以远）使得合并后的气候学数据在热带和亚热带地区尤为稳健，而高纬度数据则完全来自OTD。LRTS数据集包括MP4格式的闪光率时间序列数据。
