Summary
Abstract:
The sun-synchronous U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program (DMSP) series has provided one of the longest running nighttime global lightning data set. The Operational Line Scanner (OLS) on DMSP 5D-1/F10 recorded high-resolution photographs in the visible wavelength range. At night the gain on the instruments was set so that cities, gas and brush ...
