Jun 18, 2024 · NCEI provides access to lightning flash summaries by county and state, gridded lightning frequency products, and other data derived from internal products. Data is available in standard formats through direct download, and web services that allow spatial and temporal subsetting.
The above loop uses radar and visible/IR satellite data obtained from Aviation Weather Center (AWC), GeoColor satellite data from NOAA NESDIS-STAR, lightning (GLM) data from NOAA nowCOAST, and observations (for flight category and weather) from MesoWest .

Currently, cloud-to-ground (CG) and intra-cloud (IC) lightning flashes are detected and mapped in real-time by two different networks in the United States--the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN), a system owned and operated by Vaisala Inc, and the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network. These two systems work by detecting radio waves (sfer...
Lightning Mapping Arraysprovide three-dimensional mapping of lightning channel segments near the array. Up to thousands of points can be mapped for an individual lightning flash to reveal its location and the development of its structure. Research LMA's exist in Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, northern Alabama, Washington D.C., Kennedy Space Center ...
The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM)is an instrument on two weather satellites launched in 2016 and 2018 (GOES-16 and GOES-17) that map total lightning (in-cloud and cloud-to-ground) activity continuously day and night over the Americas and adjacent ocean regions. The GLM monitors the optical emissions of lightning which reach space, similar to...
Flashes have also been detected from space during the past few decades by other optical sensors which preceded the GLM - the Optical Transient Detector and the Lightning Imaging Sensor. The Optical Transient Detection was the experimental instrument launched in 1995 before the Lightning Imaging Sensor. The Lightning Imaging Sensor on the TRMM satel...
Learn how lightning is detected and mapped by different networks and instruments, including the Geostationary Lightning Mapper. Find out how NSSL uses lightning data for research and applications.
Jul 28, 2021 · The AI tool can accurately predict lightning up to 60 minutes before the first observation of lightning flashes. Clear predictive signals often emerge before rain forms, ahead of weather radar signals.
