Early Results from the RELAMPAGO Lightning Mapping Array
Abstract
RELAMPAGO (Remote sensing of Electrification, Lightning, And Mesoscale/microscale Processes with Adaptive Ground Observations) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) field campaign to understand intense and severe convection in central Argentina, near the Sierras de Cordoba mountain range. In order to address RELAMPAGO science goals, as well as to assist with ground validation of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument on the GOES-16/17 satellites, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has installed an 11-station Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) in this region. The LMA supported the Enhanced Observing Period (EOP) of RELAMPAGO, and then is continuing operations until mid-to-late April 2019.
