AWESOME receiver system broadband VLF data

The Very Low Frequency Atmospheric Weather Electromagnetic System for Observation, Modeling, and Education, or VLF AWESOME, completed in 2004 provides high sensitivity broadband radio measurements of natural lightning emissions, transmitting beacons, and radio emissions from the near-Earth space environment over the frequency band 0.8-50 kHz. Most of the data is collected on two air-core loop antennas, oriented orthogonal, to collect the two horizontal components of the magnetic field. The north-south, or N/S antenna is sensitive mostly to waves arriving from the north of from the south direction, meaning it picks up the magnetic field component in the east-west direction. The other antenna is the east-west antenna, which is the opposite. Broadband data contain direct samples of the receiver output, usually at 100 kHz or 1 MHz sampling frequency. These files essentially contain everything that the receiver records, entirely uncompressed.
