Geostationary Satellite

The GHRC developed and hosted a meeting web site for the Annual Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Science Team meeting at the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, AL, September 24-26, 2013. The GLM instrument, being developed for the GOES-R satellite, is a follow on to the TRMM Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS). LIS data are processed and archived at GHRC.

GHRC published two GOES Imagery datasets: GPM Ground Validation GOES 13 Visible and Infrared Images MC3E and GPM Ground Validation GOES 13 Visible and Infrared Images GCPEx. These GOES datasets include IR3, IR4, and visiblity imagery files collected at 15 minute intervals in near real-time during the mission and were used by the Real Time Mission Monitor (RTMM). The Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) took place in central Oklahoma and has files available for dates between May 6, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The GPM Cold-Season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) occurred in Ontario, Canada, and has files available for dates between January 1, 2012 and March 13, 2012.
