Exploring a BigQuery Public Dataset
BigQuery excels at analyzing an organization’s custom data, but it also has built-in access to a great number of public datasets. Not only can these public datasets be useful in a business context, but they can also be helpful when one is familiarizing oneself with BigQuery operations and procedures. In this hands-on lab, you’ll query the Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Strikes dataset from the Department of Commerce agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to find the date when the most lightning struck in a single day of a given year as well as where the most lightning strikes are located.
