How large are the lightning data files?
File size obviously depends on the geographic area and time span of interest, amount of lightning activity, data parameters included, and file format. For instance, a comma separated variable (.csv) file of CONUS for one week in August is over 150 MB. The comparable file for a week in February is approximately 80 MB. Files covering most of Florida (25N to 30N, 80W to 83.7W) are 13 MB and 8 KB for August and February respectively.
