1 Richard Blakeslee / NASA Marshall Space Fight Center Larry Carey / University of Alabama in Huntsville Jeff Bailey / University of Alabama in Huntsville National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, Alabama 2 December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans

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). – and you thought NASA acronyms were weird … Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010

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 sets for GLM and ABI that include total lightning and SEVIRI. –Allow GLM and Combined AWG/R3 teams to better address and assess several areas of on-going research 3 Science Objectives: o Algorithm and Proxy Data Validation o Validation Systems Performance Assessment o Storm Electrification/Physics o Applications for GLM+ABI+… Key scientific measurements include: VHF 3-D Lightning Mapping Array (LMA), LINET, TRMM/LIS, MSG SEVERI (ABI proxy data), high speed digital video, VLF lightning networks, dual-pol radar, electric field change, airplane in-situ microphysics, and ancillary meteorological data

Partners and Collaborators GLM Science Team Richard Blakeslee, NASA (LMA lead) Larry Carey, Jeff Bailey, UAH (NOAA funded to deploy LMA) John Hall, UAH (Web support for real time network operations) Monte Bateman, USRA (proxy data, other analyses) Many others (and other GOES-R teams) (algorithm and proxy val) InPE (CPTEC, ELAT) and USP Luiz Machado, InPE/CPTEC (overall CHUVA lead) Rachel Albrecht, InPE/CPTEC Carlos Morales, USP (Electrification processes lead) Osmar Pinto Jr., InPE/ELAT EUMETSAT MTG Lighting Imager Science Team Hartmut Hoeller, DLR (LINET lead) (Collaborator) GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 4

LMA Approach Deploy 9-10 portable LMA stations in vicinity of São Paulo, with option to extend network with 3 additional sites near São Jose dos Campos. 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 available via Web site and through CHUVA archive. GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 5

Initial Proposed Configuration São Paul Lightning Mapping Array (SPLMA) GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 6 PSC UAB ULE IAG FEI PCT RBP MKZ SUZ SPC Green (MKZ, UAB, PCT, FEI, ULE) = ready Yellow (RBP, IAG) = noisy Red (PSC) = no internet, not ready Pink (SPC, SUZ) = site not tested yet Sites surveyed last July (in prep for an Oct 2010 deployment) – deployment now planned for July 2011 (for 1 year operation) with IOP 1 November -23 December.

Exploring Network Concepts GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans km Dual Pol 40 km radius 30 km radius Blue: Sao Paulo LMA Red: SJC LMA Yellow: Dual Pol Radar CHUVA desires 3-D lightning mapping in vicinity of dual pol radar. This will occur in western portion of coverage). Expect 3-D mapping out to about 120 km or so.

NA LMA Percent Detection GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 8 Highly smooth percent detection curves for North Alabama LMA 3-D mapping out to 100 to 150 km (20-30% detection) As longer range, sources lost at lower levels, as well as detail in channel structure SP LMA will use TV channel 8 so will drop off at faster rate than NA LMA (i.e., 3-D mapping more like DC LMA

Project Schedule Calendar Year 2010 JanuaryPreliminary site survey (completed) JulyDetailed site survey (80% completed) Oct-DecRefine requirements  Coordinate LMA procurement plans with NMT  Initiate final LMA station procurements  Finalize site selection and deployment options (here & AGU) Calendar Year 2011 FebruaryInitiate legal documentation/approval process  Includes customs and visa documents (can take few months) MayPrepare LMA for shipping (time needed TBD) JuneShip LMA stations to Brazil JulyDeploy LMA (expect/need full month minimum) GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 9

Project Schedule (cont.) Calendar Year 2011 (cont.) AugustInitial checkout and ICAE  Attend ICAE (August 8-12, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)  LMA Deployment follow-up (as necessary) following ICAE Aug-DecNetwork operation (operation will continue ~1 yr)  CHUVA Intensive Observation Period (1 Nov to 23 Dec 2011)  Network operations from Aug 2011-June/July 2012 Calendar Year 2012 Jan-JuneNetwork operations continue June/JulyEnd 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, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 10

Summary On track to deploy in July 2011, and operate for ~ 1 year. Discussions will occur at AGU to weigh options and finalized the configuration and plans (both science and practical considerations will influence the decision) GLM Science Team Meeting, NSSTC, Huntsville, AL, December 2010 Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) Observations in CHUVA: Overview of Plans 11
