Beyond the Strike Benefits of Detecting Lightning From Space (48914544837)

GOES-16 Detects East Coast Meteor (47629909501)

During GOES-R Ground Segment Project Scientist Jim Gurka's update on the GOES-R Proving Ground, he highlighted the GOES-R pseudo Geostationary Lightning Mapper demonstration product, which detects flash extent density.

The AMS Short Course on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series (GOES-R) and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) was held January 10, 2016, prior to the start of the 96th AMS Annual Meeting.

Lockheed Martin's Samantha Edgington presents "GLM: Geostationary Lightning Mapper for Early Warning of Severe Storms" at #AMS2016. The AMS Annual Meeting is the world’s largest yearly gathering for the weather, water, and climate community.

The Fly’s Eye Geostationary Lightning Mapper Simulator, mounted on NASA’s ER-2 plane, will map lightning strikes using 30 photometers, instruments that measure the intensity of light. These measurements will help calibrate GOES-16’s GLM. .
