How to read this coverage
- The list is Europe-focused rather than global. EUCLID describes its scope as the European area, so the countries above are the ones named on the site.
- Coverage is presented as a network collaboration, meaning data comes from multiple national lightning detecting networks rather than a single operator.
- The stated goal is homogenous quality across the area in terms of detection efficiency and location accuracy, so the value of the coverage is not just which countries are included but that the data quality is intended to be consistent across them.
If your question is whether a specific country is covered, check it against the table above; if it is not listed, the site does not name it as part of the EUCLID coverage.
