Spanish term or phrase: Nivel ceráunico

This term is from a list of environmental conditions at a mine site in Chile. There is no further context. The items immediately before it on the list are "Viento: Dirección prevaleciente" and "Velocidad máxima", and the items immediately after it are "Zona sísmica" and "Clase sísmico".

keraunic level

Explanation:
"El nivel Isoceráunico de un lugar es el número promedio de días al cabo del año en los que hay tormenta. Se considera día con tormenta a aquel en el que al menos se oye un trueno."
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nivel_ceráunico

"The keraunic level describes the lightning and thunder activity in a given area. It is defined as the annual number of days where thunder can be heard."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keraunic_level

See also http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/tech_engineerin... , but I think the correct spelling in English is "keraunic" rather than "ceraunic".
