GOES-R PLT North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA)

The GOES-R PLT North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) dataset consists of total lightning data measured from the North Alabama LMA (NALMA) network during the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) airborne science field campaign. The GOES-R PLT airborne science field campaign took place in support of the post-launch product validation of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). The LMA measures the arrival time of radiation from a lightning discharge at multiple stations and locates the sources of radiation to produce a three-dimensional map of total lightning activity. These data files are available in compressed ASCII files and are available from March 1, 2017 through June 1, 2017.

GOES-R PLT 北阿拉巴马闪电测绘阵列（LMA）数据集由GOES-R发射后测试（PLT）空中科学考察活动中，从北阿拉巴马闪电测绘阵列（NALMA）网络测量到的总闪电数据构成。GOES-R PLT空中科学考察活动旨在支持高级基线成像仪（ABI）和地球同步闪电测绘仪（GLM）发射后产品的验证。LMA通过多个站点测量闪电放电辐射的到达时间，并定位辐射源，以生成总闪电活动的三维分布图。这些数据文件以压缩的ASCII格式提供，数据覆盖时间从2017年3月1日至2017年6月1日。
