About Dataset
Monthly averaged lightning data extracted from 1-year EMAC simulation (between 1 March, 2017 and 28 February, 2018, T42L90MA resolution).

Authors: Francisco J. Perez-Invernon, Heidi Huntrieser, Patrick Joeckel and Francisco J. Gordillo-Vazquez

Description of the data
 P_cth.tar: Lightning parameterization based on cloud top height. Scaling factor is applied.
 L_cth.tar: Lightning parameterization based on cloud top height and modified over the oceans. A scaling factor of 0.571  have to be applied.
 G_updr: Lightning parameterization based on updraft velocity. Scaling factor is applied.
 A_prec: Lightning parameterization based on convective precipitation. A scaling factor of 0.76 have to be applied.
 A_updr: Lightning parameterization based on Updraft strength at 440~hPa. A scaling factor of 0.01618 have to be applied.
 P_cth + A_prec: Lightning parameterization based on cloud top height and updraft velocity. A scaling factor of 1.13 have to be applied.
