Each fall, the GHRC DAAC holds its User Working Group Meeting. This meeting is an opportunity to present GHRC's activities, gain suggestions for improvement, and identify new opportunities. This year's UWG meeting will be held on Thursday, November 2, 2023.

The Global Hydrometeorology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC presented its annual Earthdata webinar titled, “Lightning in a Flash: Using Cloud and Open Source Capabilities to Improve Data Access and Analysis.” The presentation introduced attendees to the role of all of the DAACs and GHRC specifically. From there, the talk highlighted GHRC’s lightning holdings and what makes lightning data of interest to the community. With this, the Lightning Dashboard was introduced, demonstrating GHRC’s efforts to better support the lightning community and apply its cloud expertise. Initial feedback from attendees was very positive. The full recording will be available once provided to GHRC. In the meantime, the slide deck can be found at https://go.nasa.gov/44s495a. Additionally, GHRC’s Lightning Dashboard can be found at https://ghrc.earthdata.nasa.gov/lightdash/index.html

 

The Global Hydrometeorology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC has successfully published the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 3 gridded products dataset. This publication is significant for several reasons. First, this is the culmination of effort to archive these data that came out of a previous GLM science team meeting. Additionally, the GLM Level 3 data will serve as an excellent companion dataset to GHRC’s existing lightning data, particularly the International Space Station Lightning Imaging Sensor. The main milestone with this publication is that it represents the first ever end-to-end cloud publication of an ongoing dataset. In other words, the entire process, from data ingest, metadata extraction, to publication, exclusively used GHRC’s cloud-based workflow. Additionally, as an ongoing dataset, new data arrives daily and will continue to use this cloud-based workflow. The GLM Level 3 data are a great addition to GHRC’s lightning holdings and the cloud-only approach demonstrates GHRC’s latest steps to become a cloud-only DAAC.

The Global Hydrometeorology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC has completed archiving all datasets for the Convective Processes Experiment - Aerosols and Wind (CPEX-AW) field campaign. This clears the way to wrap up the older CPEX campaign that GHRC has received data for and to prepare for the incoming CPEX-Cabo Verde data.
