GOES-16 GLM LCFA Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/558.003 Summary This data set contains the lightning detection data from the GOES-16 satellite Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) during the period of VORTEX-SE 2018 operations. The data are in NetCDF files packed into daily tar files. The GLM L2 LCFA products at the time of VORTEX-SE 2018 were declared to have reached provisional validation maturity. Please keep in mind that these products have not been fully validated.
