Simulations to Inform NASA's Future Lightning Missions
3-D monitoring of lightning with optical and VHF sensors in LEOCLIDE. CubeSpark is a constellation of small satellites acting as a 3D lightning mapping network in space. VHF radio measurements map lightning structure inside clouds. Bispectral, high-resolution optical measurements enhance detection of lightning in severe and anomalous thunderstorms and flashes that extend upward from cloud-top.
