Because lightning data in A2 has taken a larger step forward in recent builds, a more thorough training is needed for NWS forecasters. Some ideas on what that package could contain (~2 hours):

1) Foundation: Networks, Pulse v Flash v Strike, Gridded
2) Scientific Research Review: Data Signals and Sensible Storm Outcomes
– Severe Storms (e.g., jump)
– Winter Season Uses?
3) A2 Data: Menus and Products, Definitions (ENI Polys & Tracks, Density), Latency, Display Tips
4) The future: GOES-R mapper, Future A2 data
