GOES-W & GOES-E GLM comparison

 

Looking at GLM for GOES-W in Full Disk (L)  and GOES-E in meso sector (R) the flash extent density and average flash area compare well to one another. Max FED values were 62 and 64 fl/5-min respectively. They also showed similar overall footprint with even the smallest flash values. Parallax is obvious with the peak  values separated by ~15 mi at this longitude.
