LINET data

Back

LINET data is nowcast’s classic product. Both small as well as large private and state-run companies receive detailed real-time lightning information in the form of numerical raw data via LINET data. This data can then be imported into the user’s systems and combined with further sources of data.
The user can access the data files in real-time in various formats via the internet. In addition to standard information pertaining to the location, time and stroke current, LINET reliably differentiates between intra-cloud strokes and cloud-to-ground strokes, and even ascertains the height of the intra-cloud strokes.

The advantages:

  • numerical real-time data
  • flexible formats
  • substantial details for every stroke event
  • date and time (µs)
  • geographical co-ordinates
  • lightning current
  • stroke type: cloud-to-ground or intra-cloud
  • emission height of intra-cloud strokes
  • assessment of location accuracy
