Summary

Abstract: The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) was launched on 28 November 1997
aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Observatory into
a nearly circular orbit inclined 35 degrees with an altitude of
approximately 350km. TRMM will study mesoscale phenomena such as storm
convection, dynamics, and microphysics. These will be related to
global rates and amounts and ...
