NAMMA

GHRC DAAC Manager Michael Goodman attended the 67th IHC/Tropical Cyclone Research Forum at the NOAA Center for Climate and Weather Prediction on March 5, 2013, and virtually on March 6. GHRC data holdings include satellite, airborne and in situ data from many NASA hurricane science field campaigns including GRIP (Aug/Sept 2010), NAMMA (Aug/Sept 2006), TCSP (Summer 2005), ACES (Aug/Sept 2002), CAMEX 3 and 4 (Fall 1998, Fall 2001).

The NAMMA Lightning ZEUS Data at the GHRC has been updated and now contains data from Europe and Brazil as well as Africa. The NAMMA ZEUS data is provided by World-ZEUS Long Range Lightning Monitoring Network Data obtained from sferics located at thirteen ground stations spread across the European and African continents and Brazil. Lightning activity occurring over a large part of the globe is continuously monitored at varying spatial accuracy (e.g. 10-20 km within and >50 km outside the network periphery) and high temporal (1 msec) resolution. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
