Over the Atlantic Ocean, GLM data will eliminate much of the guesswork in determining what is and what is not a thunderstorm. Not only will this help the aviation community, but it will help the Navy as well as shipping, fishing, marine, recreational boating and cruise liner communities, to name a few.
In the example below, I have paired the GLM FED with GOES-16 Ch 13 imagery. It is very apparent that the colder cloud tops are, indeed, associated with thunderstorms.
