Description
In this Phase I effort, CFD Research proposes the creation of a lightning services API using data from the GOES-16/17 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the development of valued-added lightning initiation and cessation products. Leveraging CFD Research’s experience in software and API development and atmospheric sciences for lightning research applications, this API will provide a simplified framework for serving near-hemispheric lightning information available on NOAA’s Big Data Project. The proposed work seeks to build upon and transition research and operational lightning information into applications that can be readily used and understood for the average, non-meteorologist, API user. These data services address the weather enterprise’s goal of reducing potential for injury and decreasing loss productivity due to lightning.
