LIS/OTD 2.5 Degree Low Resolution Full Climatology (LRFC) V2.3.2015

The LIS/OTD 2.5 Degree Low Resolution Full Climatology (LRFC) 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 LRFC dataset include flash rate climatology data including raw and scaled flashes on a 2.5 degree grid in HDF and netCDF-4 format.

LIS/OTD 2.5 度低分辨率完整气候学数据集（LRFC）囊括了由两个闪电探测传感器获取的多种网格化闪电总闪率气候学数据，这些传感器分别是搭载于Orbview-1卫星的太空光学瞬变探测器（OTD）以及搭载于热带降雨测量任务（TRMM）卫星上的闪电成像传感器（LIS）。其中，长周期LIS记录（约位于38度经度线以东）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。LRFC数据集包括闪电闪率气候学数据，包括原始及按比例缩放的闪数，这些数据以2.5度网格形式存储于HDF和netCDF-4格式中。
