Several Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) staff attended the 2016 annual meeting of the GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Science Team, held September 27-29 at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In addition to GLM, meeting topics included plans for the Lightning Imaging Sensor on the International Space Station (ISS LIS), the GOES-R field campaign to take place in 2017, and numerous other lightning sensors. GHRC DAAC Operations Manager Helen Conover made a presentation on the GHRC DAAC and its lightning data holdings. ISS LIS processing system team lead Will Ellett and software engineer Nathan Wharton as well as science team member Leigh Sinclair.
Of particular interest to the GHRC team were discussions on advances in technologies for Lightning Mapper Arrays (LMA). Several LMA datasets are hosted at GHRC DAAC. Sherry Harrison represented the GHRC DAAC and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) Science Investigator-let Processing System (SIPS) at the Workshop to Develop a Portfolio of Low Latency Datasets for Time-Sensitive Applications and the Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth Observing Systems (LANCE) User Working Group (UWG) meeting September 27-29, 2016 at NASA LaRC. Harrison provided the status of LANCE AMSR2 activities to the LANCE UWG. She also presented a poster, "Lightning Imaging Sensor on International Space Station,” during the poster session of the Workshop on September 27, 2016.
