This dataset is associated with the paper titled "Meteorological aspects of self-initiated upward lightning at the Säntis tower (Switzerland)" accepted for publication in Journal of Geophysical Research – Atmospheres (19 September 2019) The data includes lightning mapping array (LMA) data from 3 days of the summer of 2017 measurement campaign that was carried out in the surroundings of the Säntis Mountain (2,505 m ASL, Switzerland). The LMA was deployed to measure upward lightning activity at the Säntis tower. Additional data used in the analysis includes lightning currents from the instrumented Säntis Tower (EPFL and HEIG-VD); Polarimetric weather radar data from the Albis C-band radar (MeteoSwiss); Vertical temperature profiles from the COSMO model and; Wind data from the Säntis meteorological station (MeteoSwiss).
