Data and Model for Reanalyzing Flash Counts in Austria

Overview

The R package FlashAustria provides: data and models for flash counts and thunderstorm occurrence in Austria 2010-2018. Lightning discharges are counted on a 32 x 32 sq-km grid over Austria, Europe, for the years 2010-2018 and the months May-August. A subset of atmospheric parameters from the fifth ECMWF re-analysis (ERA5) is interpolated by applying the nearest neighbor method to the grid of the counted lightning discharges.
