Vaisala’s Real-Time Lightning Data Feed collects and distributes the best lighting data available (drawn from Vaisala’s NLDN, GLD360, and/or additional data sets) anywhere in the world. It uses a secure data “tunnel” from Vaisala’s server to the user’s server, which ensures data integrity and extremely low latency.
The data feed provides exceptional data quality and availability, with extremely low latency over almost any geography of interest. This helps leaders and decision-makers ensure public safety, improve response effectiveness, avoid physical storm damage, keep workers safe, and save resources.
The data feed is available to you now, without the need to purchase, maintain, or install any sensor equipment or processing systems.
The data feed distinguishes between different kinds of lightning and provides immediate intelligence about the most likely areas of risk or damage. This creates safety, efficiency, and potentially huge operational cost savings.
Vaisala owns and operates the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) and Global Lightning Detection Network (GLD360), and these systems’ data is trusted by the most demanding users, including U.S. federal agencies, the biggest power utilities, and the world’s largest airlines.
Vaisala is ready to discuss your needs and help you build your ideal solution using our Real-Time Lightning Data Feed. Let’s talk.
Each year we release data from the National Lightning Detection Network and Global Lightning Dataset GLD360 monitoring all lightning activity globally and across the continental U.S.
