Here is an example of a display that I tried today that seemed to really help with analysis. I liked it since it kept the time series on the side and allowed for interrogation of the other data sets in a larger main editor and at the same time I could quickly glance at the lightning time series to determine the trends in lightning data. In the display, the northern cell goes with the top right time series and the southern cells goes with the bottom right time series.
