GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Gridded Data Products

Description

The GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Gridded Data Products consist of full disk extent gridded lightning flash data collected by the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) on board each of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites R-Series (GOES-R). These satellites are a part of the GOES-R series program: a four-satellite series within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) GOES program. These are GOES-16, -17, -18, and -19. Currently, GOES-18 and GOES-19 are the active satellites. GLM is the first operational geostationary optical lightning detector that provides total lightning data (in-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and cloud-to-ground flashes). While it detects each of these types of lightning, the GLM is unable to distinguish between each type. The GLM GOES L3 dataset files contain gridded lightning flash data over the Western Hemisphere in netCDF-4 format from December 31, 2017 to present as this is an ongoing dataset.
