【 摘 要 】

The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) offers a new and exciting way to probe lightning/climate inter-relationships, and therefore supports the National Climate Assessment (NCA) program. In particular, there is a desire to use GLM to estimate lightning nitrogen oxides (LNOx) since trace quantities of NOx affect greenhouse gas concentrations (e.g., ozone).
