CSPP Geo Gridded GLM v1.0

CSPP Geo Gridded GLM software processes GOES-16 and GOES-17 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 2+ LCFA products in mission standard format, generating a new set of products which have been gridded to the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) 2-km resolution, and are aggregated at one-minute intervals. Spatial extent information that is not readily available in the GLM L2+ data is recovered and used to create the gridded products.

The new gridded products are:

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

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

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

Questions and comments can be directed to csppgeo.issues@ssec.wisc.edu.

ATTRIBUTION

The software package is built on the open source glmtools software developed by Dr. Eric Bruning (Texas Tech University). Ongoing development of operational Gridded GLM products and related research is led by Dr. Scott Rudlosky (NOAA/NESDIS/STAR).

This release builds on two years of effort to refine the glmtools package in pre-operational demonstrations, and many of the contributors to that effort are coauthors on the paper that describes the GLM imagery creation approach in detail.

The developers wish to thank Lee Byerle and Joe Zajic, NWS TOWR-S team, for their assistance with tile development and AWIPS compatibility.
