(These articles each depend on WWLLN data)
Note to Authors: Please include this statement in your papers using WWLLN data:
"Acknowledgement: The authors wish to thank the World Wide Lightning Location Network
(http://wwlln.net), a collaboration among over 40 universities and
institutions, for providing the lightning location data used in this paper."
When it was still called the 'TOGA' network:
