Description
The Australia Lightning Mapping Array (AUSLMA) dataset collection includes two different AUSLMA datasets: Australia Lightning Mapping Array (AUSLMA) and Australia Lightning Mapping Array (AUSLMA) Raw Data. The AUSLMA was deployed as part of a joint US-Australia mission called IGNIS which aims to study lightning and fire. The AUSLMA dataset collection is used to validate the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the International Space Station (ISS), the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument, and other current and future lightning measurements. These data are also used in convective storm process studies, including but not limited to the validation of convection-resolving models that predict lightning. These AUSLMA dataset files are available from September 23, 2025, through August 7, 2026, in ASCII format.
