Performance assessments of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) are conducted via comparisons with independent observations from both satellite-based sensors and ground-based lightning detection (reference) networks. A key limitation of this eval

Up to 1,000 drowning deaths occur every year on Lake Victoria in East Africa. Nocturnal thunderstorms are one of the main culprits for the high winds and waves that cause fishing boats to capsize. The High Impact Weather Lake System (HIGHWAY) project

We have developed a technique to estimate the three-dimensional (3D) location of lightning optical pulses based on the stereo view of common lightning pulses from two different orbital instruments. The technique only requires the satellite position a

Two Geostationary Lightning Mappers (GLMs) now observe spatial and temporal lightning distributions over a vast region. The GOES-16 GLM covers most land areas in the Western Hemisphere, and detects ~4 times as much lightning as the GOES-17 GLM. Altho

The geolocation of lightning flashes observed by spaceborne optical sensors depends upon a priori assumptions of the cloud-top height (or, more generally, the height of the radiant emitter) as observed by the satellite. Lightning observations from th

Diurnal cycles of precipitation and lightning are investigated by analyzing rain rates of the TRMM3G68 dataset, consisting of Precipitation Radar and Microwave Imager data only; rain rates of Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP), for whi

The Lake Victoria basin of East Africa is home to over 30 million people, over 200 000 of whom are employed in fishing or transportation on the lake. Approximately 3000–5000 individuals are killed by thunderstorms yearly, primarily by outflow winds

The Fly’s Eye GLM Simulator (FEGS) is a multi-spectral array of radiometers designed to provide a validation dataset for the geostationary lightning mapper (GLM). The main component of FEGS is a 5 × 5 grid of radiometers, each with a square 18 deg

Recent review papers have discussed the opportunities and challenges of applying machine learning (ML) techniques to Earth science data. A common challenge cited in these papers is the lack of labeled training data. A literature review of Earth scien
