GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Gridded Data Products

The GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Gridded Data Products consist of full disk extent gridded lightning flash data collected by the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) onboard the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 16 and 17 (GOES-16 and GOES-17). These satellites are a part of the GOES-R series program: a four satellite series within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) GOES program. GLM is the first operational geostationary optical lightning detector that provides total lightning data (in-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and cloud-to-ground flashes). While it detects each of these types of lightning, the GLM is unable to distinguish between each type. The GLM GOES L3 dataset files contain gridded lightning flash data over the Western Hemisphere in netCDF-4 format from December 31, 2017 to present as this is an ongoing dataset.

GOES-R 地球同步闪电测绘器（GLM）网格数据产品包括由地球同步运行环境卫星16号和17号（GOES-16和GOES-17）上的地球同步闪电测绘器（GLM）收集的全圆盘范围的网格闪电数据。这些卫星构成了GOES-R系列项目的一部分：该系列项目包含四颗卫星，隶属于美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和美国国家海洋与大气管理局（NOAA）的GOES项目。GLM是首个投入使用的地球同步光学闪电探测器，它提供了总闪电数据（包括云内、云间和云地闪电）。虽然GLM能够检测到每种类型的闪电，但它无法区分这些不同类型的闪电。GLM的GOES L3数据集文件包含从2017年12月31日起至今的西半球网格闪电数据，数据格式为netCDF-4，该数据集为持续更新的数据集。
