Journal ArticleDOI
Global frequency and distribution of lightning as observed from space by the Optical Transient Detector
Hugh J. Christian,Richard J. Blakeslee,Dennis J. Boccippio,William L. Boeck,Dennis E. Buechler,Kevin T. Driscoll,Steven J. Goodman,John Hall,William J. Koshak,Douglas M. Mach,M. F. Stewart +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the OTD measurements to construct lightning climatology maps that demonstrate the geographical and seasonal distribution of lightning activity for the globe, and found that lightning occurs mainly over land areas, with an average land/ocean ratio of 10:1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of Intense Gamma-Ray Flashes of Atmospheric Origin
Gerald J. Fishman,P. N. Bhat,Robert S. Mallozzi,John M. Horack,Thomas M. Koshut,Chryssa Kouveliotou,Geoffrey N. Pendleton,Charles A. Meegan,Robert B. Wilson,W. S. Paciesas,Steven J. Goodman,Hugh J. Christian +11 more
TL;DR: Detectors aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory have observed an unexplained terrestrial phenomenon: brief, intense flashes of gamma rays that must originate in the atmosphere at altitudes above at least 30 kilometers in order to escape atmospheric absorption and reach the orbiting detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Closer Look at the ABI on the GOES-R Series
Timothy J. Schmit,Paul Griffith,Mathew M. Gunshor,Jaime Daniels,Steven J. Goodman,William Lebair +5 more
TL;DR: The expected instrument attributes are covered, as they relate to signal-to-noise ratio, image navigation and registration, and the expected improvements of each of these attributes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steven J. Goodman,Richard J. Blakeslee,William J. Koshak,Douglas M. Mach,Jeffrey C. Bailey,Dennis E. Buechler,Lawrence D. Carey,Christopher J. Schultz,Monte G. Bateman,Eugene W. McCaul,Geoffrey T. Stano +10 more
TL;DR: The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R-series (GOES-R) is the next block of four satellites to follow the existing GOES constellation currently operating over the Western Hemisphere as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined Satellite- and Surface-Based Estimation of the Intracloud Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Ratio over the Continental United States
TL;DR: In this paper, four years of observations from the NASA Optical Transient Detector (OTD) and Global Atmospherics National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) are combined to determine the geographic distribution of the intracloud/cloud to ground lightning ratio over the continental United States.
