Lightning Detection from Space – from LEO to GEO Feasibility of lightning detection from space by optical sensors has been proven by NASA instruments since 1995 on low earth orbits (LEO) OTD (1995 -2000) Results from LIS/OTD: Global lightning distribution Annual flash density LIS (1997 -present) Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014
Geostationary lightning imaging – objectives and benefits The LI on MTG measures Total Lightning: Cloud-to-Cloud Lightning (IC) and Cloud-to-Ground Lightning (CG) Main benefit from GEO observations: homogeneous and continuous observations delivering information on location and strength of lightning flashes to the users with a timeliness of 30 seconds Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014 Main objectives are to detect, monitor, track and extrapolate in time: • • • Development of active convective areas and storm lifecycle Lightning climatology Chemistry (NOx production)

L 2 Flashes/Groups/Events • Product Terminology: • Events: • Groups: • Flashes: Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014 what the instrument measures, a triggered pixel in the detector grid collection of neighbouring triggered events in the same integration period (1 -2 ms), representing roughly a lightning stroke in nature a collection of groups in temporal and spatial vicinity (XX km, YY ms), representing a “geophysical” flash.

Proxy data basics (1) • MTG LI is without heritage in GEO orbit, and the closest comparison is the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on TRMM – currently still in operation • However, LIS flying on LEO orbit can only monitor storms for less than 2 minutes at a time • In addition, coverage is limited to +/- 35 deg Lat => Europe is excluded • Use of ground-based Lightning Location System (LLS) networks as a source of proxy data is not straightforward, as they are based on RF observations of lightning and are sensitive to different parts of the lightning process • “apples and oranges” Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014
Proxy data basics (2) • The best compromise is to use ground-based lightning data, but converted to optical pulses based on case study comparisons with LIS data. • One of the networks in operation in Europe (LINET) is currently the main source of such proxy data for the LI activities. • LINET data has been compared in measurement campaigns to other ground-based systems and to LIS • As an outcome, a model for transforming the LINET stroke data into optical emission (“pulses”) has been created Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014

Modeling of MTG-LI Optical Signals Strategy for Proxy Data Generation Transformation of LINET RF stroke data into optical groups by modeling of cloud top optical emission: • Simulation of the number of optical groups per stroke (depending on LINET detection efficiency, i. e. sensor baseline, in the area) If this number is ≥ 1: • Generation of one direct coincident optical group per LINET stroke • Random generation of additional optical groups per LINET stroke according to a log-normal model for radiance, footprint and time Generation of optical events from RF stroke data Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014 Slide 25 > Eumetsat, Vienna, September 2013 > Hartmut Höller

Preparing for a user readiness study • Because of no heritage in orbit or business-as-usual products, feedback and comments regarding the data usage and upcoming end-products delivered by EUMETSAT are needed. • Charting the readiness of the main data users (i. e. , National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, NMHS). • Ensuring that the users are able to give valuable input already before the instrument is launched. • End-users getting a first glimpse on the data before the LI instrument itself is operational. • In addition to LINET as input data, an extension of the method is in development to have a similar approach applicable to the NORDLIS/EUCLID network as well (work in progress).

Summary • Proxy data needed for product/algorithm development, system level testing, and user readiness preparation • For the Lightning Imager, being without heritage, the creation of representative proxy data has been a top priority • LINET, a ground-based system covering much of Europe has been used as a vehicle for developing the proxy data • Based on LIS-LINET comparisons, as well as comparison to other networks’ data (CHUVA campaign) • LIST activity started in 2009 and continued since through various activities • The accumulated flash product demonstration presented • User readiness study employing the proxy data in preparation Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014

Detection of a Lightning Optical Signal • Lightning with a background signal changing with time: Radiation energy Background Lightning signal Day Night Time • Lightning on top of a bright background is not recognised by its bright radiance, but by its transient short pulse character • For detection of lightning, a variable adapting threshold has to be used for each pixel which takes into account the change in the background radiance • (in LIS: background calculated as a moving average) Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014 Slide: 46
From a Lightning Optical Signal to MTG LI Events • Detection of events in a nutshell: This is taking place in every 1 ms frame (1 k. Hz): Background scene tracking and removal Thresholding • True lightning events (triggered by a lightning optical signal) • False events (not related to lightning) Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014 Event detection False event filtering needed in L 0 -L 1 processing
Use of proxy data within the MTG program activities • Data is being and will be used in: • Algorithm development & testing • System level testing • User readiness activities • Proxy data also shared with other agencies • NOAA GOES-R GLM team – Steve Goodman • In talks to cooperate also with CMA on proxy data Convection Workingf Group 9 April 2014
