  • Daily GLM Videos

    Videos of the most interesting flashes and storm regions observed by both the GOES-East and GOES-West GLMs are archived daily. GOES-16 videos also are created daily for both CONUS and full-disk perspectives. Links to dropbox folders follow.

  • NESDIS STAR


    The NOAA/NESDIS/STAR GOES Image Viewer provides real-time access to imagery from both GOES-East and GOES-West. This imagery combines the gridded GLM products with ABI observations. The GLM aspects of this site are still under development, and new imagery options will be added as they become available.

    CIRA Slider


    The Satellite Loop Interactive Data Explorer (SLIDER) is a great new tool for viewing GOES-16/17 imagery including the GLM. Two products are viewable (group energy density and group flash count density), with both indicating lightning occurrence and intensity. The physical interpretation of the group energy product is still being studied.

    Weathernerds


    Weathernerds provides real-time weather data in a flexible, practical interface designed to give creativity and control to the user. This site provides access to both the Level 2 flash locations and gridded products (FED and TOE), which can be overlaid on various imagery and easily exported for use on social media.
