2 The Global Electric Circuit (GEC) Ionosphere 250 kv Wilson Currents Fair Weather Currents Ground 0 V
3 How is the GEC Studied? Direct E field observations Limited domain and sample size Continuous global observations Thunderstorms only
4 Goal To create an algorithm that can estimate above-cloud electric fields that uses commonly-available global satellite products o Passive microwave - SSMI - TMI - GMI o Radar - TRMM PR - GPM DPR
5 Objectives To provide a unique tool for examining: o Individual cases and global electricity o Long-term variations in global electricity o Relative contributions of different cloud types to the GEC To provide validation for the FESD:ECCWES effort

29 Conclusions The high altitude aircraft version can produce reasonable estimates of electric fields above convective clouds and clouds with significant electric fields The algorithm in its present form cannot adequately characterize electric fields above stratiform clouds and convection near large stratiform regions o Particularly a problem for oceanic regions and mature MCS s over land Passive microwave estimates of global electricity over land lead to similar spatial and temporal distributions compared to LIS lightning frequency
30 Next Steps Apply new dynamic stratiform scaling factor to prevent stratiform bias in convective pixel calculations (6,000 TRMM orbits processed) Incorporate ground-based radar observations into the high-altitude aircraft dataset Explore the feasibility of using a microwave-based convective/stratiform partitioning scheme Determine whether a combined 85 GHz/37 GHz charge proxy would have more skill than considering each frequency independently Apply algorithm to entire 16-year TRMM dataset
