Previously, the GLM Level-0 (L0) data stored in the Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) at the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) was in a format difficult for users to work with, limiting its potential benefits. To address this, NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) plans to replace the existing L0 archive with this reprocessed data, now in the more user-friendly NetCDF/HDF5 format. This collection consists of archived L0 data from the GLM aboard the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series, covering both GOES-East and GOES-West satellites during their operational and post-launch test phases. The GOES-R Series, extending the GOES mission through 2035, enhances our geostationary satellite observation capabilities. GOES-16, the first satellite of the GOES-R series, began operations as GOES-East on December 18, 2017. GOES-17 followed as GOES-West, starting on February 12, 2019. The reprocessed GLM L0 data spans from March 21, 2017, to September 6, 2022. The GLM, equipped to detect near-infrared optical transients over the Western Hemisphere, provides data including science, housekeeping, engineering, and diagnostic telemetry, along with orbit and attitude information from the GOES spacecraft. Each data packet, identified by a unique Application Process Identifier (APID) in its header, contains valuable information for interpretation. For detailed information on the L0 data, the GOES-R Series Product Definition and Users' Guide (PUG) offers comprehensive documentation, including instrument calibration and data reprocessing insights. Originally, the GLM L0 data was formatted in netCDF-4 with CCSDS packets stored as byte arrays, rendering them unreadable by standard netCDF applications. These were archived as hourly tar files by satellite. The newly reprocessed L0 data, however, is organized into daily files, including both background images (in FITS format) and event data (in netCDF-4), packaged as *.tgz files for easier access and use. By transitioning to a more accessible NetCDF/HDF5 file format, Lockheed Martin has significantly enhanced the utility of the GLM L0 archive, making it more beneficial for scientific and operational communities. The lightning research community is anticipated to utilize this data extensively. The present GLM Level 2 data are constrained due to a particular set of filters applied between Level 0 and Level 2, resulting in valuable lightning data present in Level 0 that is absent in the filtered Level 2 data. The accessibility of Level 0 data in an easily interpretable format will enable researchers to extract additional lightning information from the GLM dataset. planned NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C01709.jpg Rendering of a GOES-R satellite.

The current GLM Level 2 data are handicapped by a specific set of filters that are employed between the L0 and L2 data, meaning there is useful lightning information in the L0 data that doesn't exist in the filtered L2 data. The easily readable reprocessed L0 data will allow researchers to extra additional lightning information from the GLM dataset. otherRestrictions Cite as: GOES-R Series Program (2024): NOAA GOES-R Series Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Reprocessed Level 0 Data.

Although the original GLM Level 0 data files use a netCDF-4 file format, the CCSDS packets within were stored as byte arrays. This setup made the data unreadable for standard netCDF reader applications. These Level 0 data files were grouped into hourly tar files (data bundles) by satellite for archiving purposes.
