Future Work

Future Plans are as followed:

  • Develop an automated real-time validation system to assess the skill of the CI nowcasting system

  • Incorporate lightning information to develop relationships between satellite-derived CI Interest Fields and total lightning sources (i.e. intra-cloud + cloud-to-cloud + cloud-to-ground)

  • Develop a nocturnal CI nowcasting system

  • Incorporate satellite-derived stability information (via GOES DPI) to assess the location of airmass boundaries important for CI
