English: This NASA ER-2 high altitude plane equipped with advanced instrumentation is ready to take off from Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia to hunt lightning as part of phase 2 of the GOES-16 field campaign. The second phase of the field campaign focused on validating the satellite’s lightning mapper. By clearly measuring a lone, well-defined lighting flash with the plane’s instruments, GOES-16’s Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), and various ground sensors, scientists can perform an important “one-to-one” comparison to hone in on the GLM’s detection threshold, or sensitivity, for light. The GOES-16 Field Campaign, a two-month effort to calibrate and validate the Earth-viewing instruments on NOAA’s GOES-16 satellite, completed mission operations in May.
