Lightning Sensor

In Spring 2014, the college was approached by WSI’s United States Precision Lightning Network with an offer to include MLC in the data gathering network. The offer was to provide a lightning sensor as long as we did the installation and provided internet connectivity.

Since the offer was in keeping with the original intent of the weather station installation, MLC agreed to sign the five year contract. The sensor and antennas arrived in May 2014 and installation occurred later in the month. After testing, the data was added to the network in June 2014.
