GRADS plotting program

[Alex Fierro]

Hi Aaron:

Just out of curiosity, It seems that you are working on hurricane lightning,
which was the main topic of my PhD and of my future postdocs at the
Hurricane Center and LANL. I am more concentrated on modeling the lightning
within real cases. I published an idealized simulation of lightning within a
hurricane like vortex (if you are interested just let me know).
If you have any publication on this topic, I would be very interested in
reading them.

Cheers,

Alex-
