style="font-size: 10pt;">The next generation Geostationary Operational
Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) series with a planned launch in 2015
includes an advanced imager and a new capability for total lightning
detection (cloud and cloud-to-ground flashes). <span style=""> </span>The
Geostationary Lightning Mapper (</span><st1:stockticker><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">GLM</span></st1:stockticker><span
style="font-size: 10pt;">) will map total lightning activity
continuously day and night with near-uniform spatial resolution of 8 km
and with a product refresh rate of less than 20 sec over the western
hemisphere from the west coast of Africa (GOES-E) to New Zealand
(GOES-W) when the constellation is fully operational.<span style=""> </span>Near
global coverage will be possible by the end of the decade with
operational lightning imagers planned by EUMETSAT and the Chinese
Meteorological Agency.<span style=""> </span>C</span><span

known to be associated with lightning flash rate (graupel, hail, ice
water content). <span style=""> </span>In this presentation, we review
the past decade of data assimilation experiments using proxy
relationships for lightning and present new methodologies and
opportunities to demonstrate how regional cloud-resolving forecast
simulations can be exploited to create quantitatively calibrated,
time-dependent and specific short-term forecasts of lightning flash
rates in convective environments. <span style=""> </span></span><span
