• Description:
  Lightning location data were obtained on 30 GO days (26 were B and 4 were A days) of the 61 GO days during FACE-2 for use in an exploratory analysis to determine if the treatment during FACE-2 resulted in any changes in the number and rate of cloud-toground lightning within the total and floating targets. It is estimated that 80% of the ground flashes within the target area were detected and located within 2-8 km. The total and floating target lightning data were reduced prior to disclosure of the treatment decision, minimizing the possibility of reduction bias. These reduced data are presented, with descriptions of instrumentation, data processing, planned analyses, and expected results.
