[Datastream #CEG-896944]: lightning data from motherlode

Hi John,

I don't believe that either of the lightning datasets (NLDN or USPLN)
is available through THREDDS regardless of who is trying to access it.

OK.

re:

OK.  I can SCP the GEMPAK-decoded files to a directory on padilla
for you to use.  I suggest putting the files in:

/data/ldm/gempak/lightning/(nldn|uspln)

I just copied the GEMPAK files for part of Saturday and all of Sunday
to these directories.  I am afraid that we don't have GEMPAK files
that cover all of Saturday (we do have McIDAS-decoded files, however).

Cheers,

Tom
