It's Severe Weather Preparedness Week, so this week's EarthFromOrbit video focuses on how NOAA satellites work together to provide critical data for weather forecasts and severe weather warnings, to help keep our communities safe. More:
NOAA’s geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites monitor the changing weather patterns that come with the transition from winter to spring. Mar. 6As the potential for severe thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, dangerous lightning, and flooding increases, NOAA satellites work together to provide critical data for weather forecasts and severe weather warnings. They also aid emergency responders to help keep our communities safe.
GOES-16 and GOES-18 also monitor lightning activity with the Geostationary Lightning Mapper instrument. GLM detects total lightning activity and reveals the extent of lightning flashes and distance they travel. Rapid increases in total lightning activity often precede severe and tornadic thunderstorms. GLM data can help alert forecasters that a storm is intensifying before it produces damaging winds, hail or tornadoes.
GLM can not only detect current lightning activity, but its data, along with data from the GOES-16 and GOES-18 Advanced Baseline Imager , can also help predict the occurrence of lightning in the future. Scientists are using artificial intelligence to predict where GLM will observe lightning. To accomplish this, a sophisticated machine-learning algorithm was trained, using GLM data, to recognize complex patterns in ABI imagery that often precede lightning activity.
