Hongming,

You are welcome.

No, we don't.

I have been told that the NOAAPORT lightning data is encrypted, but I
have never actually looked at it to make sure.  We never had the need
since the university community can get the data from SUNY Albany.  I
think you have to get a decryption key from somebody to decode the
NOAAPORT lightning data, but I don't know who.

Perhaps the folks at Johnson Space Center would know how to do this.

Tom,

Thanks! We have talked with one guy in aviation department of NOAA. He 
agrees to give us their decoders.
