Continuous observations by two networks will be made available to PQP: The SAFIR (Surveillance et Alerte Foudre par Interferometrie Radioelectrique) total lightning detection system in Northern Germany of the University of Hannover and the joint lightning location system of DLR and University of Munich LINET operating about 15 stations in Southern Germany. They both separate between cloud to ground (CG) and intra cloud (IC) lightnings. Linet can also give the vertical position of lightning.
