Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on TRMM Science Data V4

The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) Science Data was collected by the LIS instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite used to detect the distribution and variability of total lightning occurring in the Earth’s tropical and subtropical regions. This data can be used for severe storm detection and analysis, as well as for lightning-atmosphere interaction studies. The LIS instrument makes measurements during both day and night with high detection efficiency. These data are available in both HDF-4 and netCDF-4 formats, with corresponding browse images in GIF format.

本数据集描述了热带降雨测量任务（TRMM）卫星上搭载的闪电成像传感器（LIS）所收集的科学数据。该数据旨在探测地球热带及亚热带区域总闪电的分布与变化情况。此数据集可应用于恶劣天气的检测与分析，以及闪电与大气相互作用的研究。LIS传感器在昼夜交替期间均能进行测量，并具备高检测效率。数据以HDF-4和netCDF-4格式提供，并附有相应的GIF格式浏览图像。
