Description:This report, commissioned by NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), evaluates quantitative incremental benefits of a proposed geostationary total Lightning Mapping Sensor (LMS). Recognizing that the introduction of new sensors on its satellite fleet is complicated by programmatic and funding constraints, NESDIS is attempting to better understand potential benefits of emerging technologies before embarking on costly development programs. This study represents an attempt by NESDIS to expose objective rationale for improving its Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) mission, specifically in areas of 1) severe convective weather warnings, and 2) aviation weather support.
