Quantifying hail and lightning risk factors using long-term observations around Australia - Hail and Lightning Datasets

These data accompany a paper referenced as doi: 10.1029/2020JD033101. Two spreadsheets are provided as used to derive the hourly and monthly occurrence of hail or lightning events within the domains of the ten radars sites (Melbourne, Wollongong, Gympie, Grafton, Canberra, Marburg, Adelaide, Namoi, Perth, Hobart). Lightning events as defined in this paper (derived from post-processed lightning information) were provided for 2005-2018 and hail data from 1997-2018 (noting that the start date of hail is dependent on when the respective radar site was established). A value of 1 indicates a lightning/hail event occurred during that hour (in UTC +0). Information on processing methods and data are provided in the published paper for the doi listed above.
