Creating a NetCDF from the data center.

Hello,

I am trying to create a NetCDF from the granules given for lightning data. I am trying to run a comparative analysis of statistical relevance of crust stress with regards to lightning data occurrence. I already have a comprehensive map of stress with respect to coordinate, but the lightning data has been harder to find. I am not proficient at coding, so this has been one of the harder parts for me to tackle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for your interests on our lightning data!

We have a Python-based data recipe that steps the user through code that compiles information from a series of ISS LIS datafiles and generates a gridded heat map plot of lightning flash locations and a CSV file containing the ___location coordinates:
