The JPSS-1 satellite was launched on November 18 and the first data from the ATMS microwave instrument was received 11 days later on November 29th. CICS-MD Scientists Hu Yang and Chris Grassotti both worked on processing the data.
CICS-MD Scientist Patrick Meyers has developed a three-dimensional animation of Hurricane Irma with lightning data from the GOES-16 Geostationary Lightning Mapper.
CICS-MD Scientist Micheal Peterson has created a video that shows a spider lightning flash observed by the Lighting Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite - a predecessor to GLM. It traces the lateral development of the optical energy of the flash as it evolves along its various branches.
