[IDD #JFL-929851]: GLM lightning flash density

Hi,

re:

> supporting the live feed of data... 

The TTU value-added Level2 GLM products will cease being created when the grant
which has funded the creation of the products runs out.  The Vlab value-added
Level2 GLM products will continue to be there for as long as a) NOAA continues
to create them and b) we are allowed to grab the Vlab GLM tiles from AWS.

No, these Level2 products are sent in the Goes ReBroadcast (GRB), and we will 
continue
to make them available in the LDM/IDD and via remote access technologies like 
TDS for
as long as we operate GOES-East and GOES-West downlinks in UCAR.  NB: we have 
no reason
to believe that this activity will be curtailed any time in the foreseeable 
future.

Have you taken a look at the Vlab value-added Level2 and Level3 products?  Here 
are the TDS
links for these products:

GOES-West on thredds.ucar.edu:

Cheers,

Tom
