The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Instrument Engineering Telemetry Data file contains data used to monitor and evaluate the health and performance of the GLM. This data is transmitted to the ground in raw digital counts, and subsequently converted into physical units by the ground system. Some of the data pertains to the temperature of components of the GLM. This includes temperatures for the CCD pedestal, focal plane array, and filtering temperatures. Other telemetry includes the number of events rejected by instrument on-board processing filters and background image count statistics.
The GLM Background Image Data file contains the average background value in digital counts for pixels in the instrument’s CCD. The averaging is performed by the instrument prior to downlink. This data is used to support the generation of GLM Level 1b products.
