  7. ABI scans about 5 times faster than the current GOES imager There are two anticipated scan modes for the ABI: - Full disk images every 15 minutes + 5 min CONUS images + mesoscale. or - Full disk every 5 minutes.

  8. “Franklin” Mesoscale images every 30 seconds for rapidly changing phenomena (thunderstorms, hurricanes, fires, etc). Current GOES can not offer these rapid scans while still scanning other important regions

  9. TRMM/LIS-Lightning: May 1999 Stroud, OK F3 Tornado Mapping Storm Initiation, Growth, Decay Total lightning increases as storm intensifies – can increase lead time for warning of severe and tornadic storms GOES-R GLM Perspective 1-min total lightning activity

  10. GLM Proxy Data from OKLMA

  11. GLM Proxy Data from DCLMADC Regional Storms November 16, 2006 LMA 1 km resolution LMA @ GLM 10 km resolution GLM Testbeds at Huntsville, AL; Norman, OK; Sterling, VA; KSC, FL

  12. Summary: Natural Hazards and Lightning • Tornadoes • Hailstorms • Wind • Thunderstorms • Floods • Hurricanes • Volcanoes • Forest Fires • Air Quality/NOx Many Opportunities with GOES-R Using GLM Alone or in Combination with Other Measurements (ABI, Radar, Other Satellite, Other Lightning)
