Data description: 
This data lives in the context of the corresponding publication
entitled 'Global Lightning Quanta'. 
Any use of the data outside this specific context is considered to be unethical. 
The data is described in three different forms that build on  
each other in a logical and hierarchical order. 
(1) High level description: All the data is described in textual form
      in the corresponding publication in extensive detail. 
(2) Middle level description: The actual values of the data and their 
      units which are used in the publication are embedded in the 
      corresponding standard Matlab .m files, one for each Figure. 
      The Matlab programming language is explained on the website 
      https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/getting-started-with-matlab.html?s_cid=learn_doc
(3) Low level description: The binary data used by the Matlab .m 
      files are embedded in the corresponding Matlab .mat files, 
      one for each Figure. These .mat files are independent of the 
      computing platform used.
