GLM comparison for Line of thunderstorms

A linear storm was moving east across western FWS CWA producing 1″ size hail.  Look at the cursor location, GLM Flash Extent Density and Event Density products were highlighting the most intense part of the storm better the GLM TOE product.  The GLM Total Optical Energy is preferred for initial storm development.  When thunderstorms become mature its best to use the GLM Flash Extent Density or GLM Event Density product to compare storms in the mature phase.  -Jake Johnson
