CSPP Geo Gridded GLM v1.0 Beta1

CSPP Geo Gridded GLM software takes GOES GLM Level 2+ LCFA files and grids them to the ABI fixed grid, creating a new set of GLM gridded products which were developed by the GOES-R GLM Science Team. Tiles can optionally be created in an AWIPS-compatible format.

The new gridded products are:

• Minimum Flash Area
• Flash Extent Density
• Total Optical Energy

This software was developed at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, SSEC / CIMSS, under funding provided by the NOAA STAR / GOES-R Program.

The latest version of this software can be obtained from: https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/csppgeo/
