Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Cluster Integrity, Exception Resolution, and Reclustering Algorithm (CIERRA)

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. 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.

该地球静止轨道闪电测绘器（Geostationary Lightning Mapper，GLM）集群完整性、异常处理及重新聚类算法（Cluster Integrity, Exception Resolution, and Reclustering Algorithm，CIERRA）数据集，包含了一系列地球定位闪电辐射能量测量的层级结构，包括事件、群组、系列、闪电和区域。GLM CIERRA数据集通过重新组合分裂的闪电并过滤掉更多非闪电噪声，解决了由GLM地面系统引起的模拟闪电终止问题。这些数据为研究人员提供了一项强大的工具，以更精确的观测数据深入探究对流风暴和闪电活动，并更好地整合可用于航空气象学、闪电安全及其他研究的空间范围观测。这些数据自2017年1月12日起至2023年3月31日止，以netCDF-4格式提供。
