Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Cluster Integrity, Exception Resolution, and Reclustering Algorithm (CIERRA)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/glm/cierra/data101
The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Cluster Integrity, Exception Resolution, and Reclustering Algorithm (CIERRA) dataset consists of a hierarchy of earth-located lightning radiant energy measures including events, groups, series, flashes, and areas.
Description
The GLM CIERRA data addresses the artificial flash termination by the GLM ground system by recombining split flashes and filtering out more non-lightning noise. This provides researchers with a powerful tool to better investigate convective storm and lightning activity with more accurate observations as well as better incorporate spatial extent observations that can be used for aviation meteorology, lightning safety, and other studies.
These data are available from January 12, 2017, through March 31, 2023, in netCDF-4 format.
