SPoRT Accomplishments

• Developed display capabilities– Ground based lightning mapping array– Pseudo Geostationary Lightning

Mapper– All efforts in near real-time

• Leading development community– Request to provide capabilities to

GOES-R Proving Ground and the Spring Program

NALMA

PseudoGLM

AWIPS II Advantages over AWIPS I

• AWIPS versus AWIPS II– AWIPS smoothes data– AWIPS II preserves raw data– Lightning maxima preserved

• Advantages– Improved detection of lightning jumps– Improved awareness of storm electrification

• Bottom line: Improved lightning safety!

AWIPS – 86 sources

AWIPS II – 113 sources
