AbstractIn February 2017, the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) was launched and installed on the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS LIS provides observations of global lightning flashes, including data at higher latitudes than previously possible while on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. The ISS LIS V1.0 validated datasets were recently released which allow for the study of lightning in hazardous weather events over much of the Earth. This talk will introduce the near-real time (NRT) and daily ISS LIS data and available support and resources that the NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) provides. These resources include an overview of the ISS LIS NRT and research quality data, available Micro Articles and Data Recipes, and the lightning website; all currently available at the NASA GHRC DAAC, along with a demonstration of data access and NRT data application.
