1 Richard Blakeslee / NASA Marshall Space Fight Center Larry Carey / University of Alabama in Huntsville Jeff Bailey / University of Alabama in Huntsville Monte Bateman / Universities Space Research Association Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, Alabama 20 September 2011 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update

2 What is CHUVA? CHUVA is a Brazilian-led field component of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission that will investigate distinct precipitation regimes in Brazil using a series of regional Intensive Observation Period (IOP) field campaigns. The name (which means rain in Portuguese) is derived from the experiment title: Cloud processes of tHe main precipitation systems in Brazil: A contribUtion to cloud resolVing modeling and the the GPM (GlobAl Precipitation Measurement). Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, September 2011

Participation in CHUVA São Luiz do Paraitinga Campaign Target of Opportunity  Leverage observing assets associated with CHUVA with U.S. supplied portable LMA network and European supplied LINET to generate proxy data for GLM and ABI that include total lightning and SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager).  Allow GLM and Combined AWG/R3 teams to better address and assess several areas of on-going research o Develop/Validate algorithms, applications, and proxy data o Assess validation systems performance.  Intercompare and assess data from multiple lightning networks including LMA, LINET, WWLLN, ENTLN, RINDAT, ATDnet, WSI, GLD360, STARNET.  Provide total lightning observations in support of the CHUVA campaign. o Storm electrification/physics o Storm – lightning relationships 3GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, September 2011 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update

Participation in CHUVA São Luiz do Paraitinga Campaign Scientific Measurements –TRMM/LIS and MSG SEVERI (ABI proxy) –Multiple lightning networks (both short and long range, 2D and 3D). –Dual-polarization radar –Electric field change and field mill –Airplane in-situ microphysics –Ancillary meteorological data 4GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, September 2011 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update LMA Hardware Portable Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Stations Second generation hardware developed by New Mexico Tech. LMA measures signals in unused television (TV) band. TV Channel 8 at 162 MHz will be used for the São Paulo LMA. Picture shows the VHF ground plane antenna and sensor electronics / site computer package.

LMA Approach Deploy 12 portable LMA stations in vicinity of São Paulo. Employ the DC LMA “modus operandi” – real time operation with internet at all site locations. Monitor/manage network remotely from NSSTC, collaborate with local assistance for maintenance/ operation issues. Data will be processed in Huntsville (with backup in Brazil), and distributed and archived in Huntsville and Brazil. Data will be available via Web site and through CHUVA archive.

Network Configuration São Paul Lightning Mapping Array (SPLMA) GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, September 2011 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update 8 Network provides 3-D mapping out to 150 km and will overlap with CHUVA radar 2-D coverage realized out to 250+ km. Sites selected and surveyed (Dec 2009, Jul 2010, Jun 2011). Equipment shipped Sep 2011 Deployment scheduled for Sept-Oct CHUVA IOP is 1 Nov to 23 Dec Plans coming together for extended observations in Jan and Feb 2012.

Current Project Schedule Calendar Year 2011 FebruaryInitiate legal documentation/approval process  Includes customs and visa documents (can take few months) JulyPrepare LMA for shipping (time needed TBD) SeptImport License granted and LMA shipped Sept-OctDeploy LMA (expect/need full month minimum)  Network checkout will occur simultaneously with deployment Nov-DecNetwork operation (operation will continue ~6 mn)  CHUVA Intensive Observation Period (1 Nov to 23 Dec 2011)  Network operations from Oct 2011-April/May 2012 GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, September 2011 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update 9

Project Schedule (cont.) Calendar Year 2012 Jan-AprilNetwork operations continue MayEnd operations  Exact end date TBD  De-install and pack-up stations  Ship LMA back to the United States GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, September 2011 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Status Update 10

Summary Equipment just cleared customs in Brazil and will be delivered to USP 20 Sept We will start deploying the network 26 Sept 2011, and will seek to get all stations deploy prior to the start of the IOP. Operations will continue through ~ April, 2012 (exact date TBD). We might come out sooner.
