ILDN vs MausamNow

Indian Lightning Detection Network (ILDN) is the first indigenously developed experimental lightning detection system in India with a goal of academic purpose and research collaboration among interested people. The network was conceptualized in 2018 and operational from May 2022. Quality-controlled data is available starting July 2022. Designed and managed by the Centre for Lightning and Thunderstorm Studies (CeLTS) at Tripura University, a network of Very Low Frequency (VLF) general purpose receivers and signal processors are deployed and operated across India with the help of collaborating institutions.
