Vaisala Launches Thunderstorm Total Lightning Database TLD100 and TLD200
Vaisala has launched its Thunderstorm Total Lightning Database TLD100 and TLD200. The TLD100/200 is the storage module in the Vaisala Thunderstorm Information System that is utilized to archive cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning data.
The TLD100/200 offers fast data collection, retrieval, and secure storage of processed lightning solutions for Vaisala lightning detection system customers. The TLD100/200 allows lightning network owners and lightning data users to reduce their life cycle costs for lightning data storage substantially, while also benefiting from increased performance and maintainability.
Vaisala Thunderstorm Information System operators use the TLD100/200 to archive their lightning data into a relational database. Users have fast, easy and secured access to the archived data for use in their lightning display and analysis software. The TLD100/200 also provides secured access to real-time lightning data, and long-term storage of stroke and flash data in a relational database for post-storm and multi-year statistical analyses. It supports multiple workstations and simultaneous queries, and manages multiple user connections.
The TLD100/200 is also the foundation for the optional FALLS® server software system which allows users to perform enhanced GIS-based data analysis, including lightning trend and density investigations against valued user assets.
The TLD100/200 is based upon industry leading LINUX operating system technology, and utilizes the PostgreSQL relational database technology. This choice allows the user to be assured of lower total cost of ownership and ease of management.
"Vaisala's TLD100/200 will lower the cost of network ownership and increase performance, both of which our customers will definitely appreciate," says Steven Rowley, Product Manager at Vaisala.
"The TLD100/200 database allows precision lightning network owners increased access to their historical lighting data, and is a more powerful, secure relational database for collecting and analyzing data."
