 NASA's Earth Science Branch Attends National Lightning Workshop
==========

NASA's Earth Science Branch attended the inaugural Lightning Modeling Workshop in Albuquerque, NM, organized by Timothy Lang. The workshop aimed to develop a roadmap for lightning modeling and improve current models. Patrick Gatlin presented on MSFC's efforts to build a lightning and thunderstorm model for the CubeSpark mission. William Koshak and Mason Quick also participated. The workshop had approximately 60 attendees and was sponsored by Sandia National Labs and Texas Tech University. A holistic physical model for lightning would benefit the study of lightning, weather, and climate, as well as improve lightning protection and safety.
