In lieu of flowers, please send any tax deductible charitable donations to either of the following two charities in his name to help his family during this time of crisis and need: www.fdnyfoundation.org/donate/ (use drop-down menu box for children of Lt Christopher J Raguso) or https://tunnel2towers.org/ (for Christopher Raguso). Chris was the ultimate first responder for the USAF, FDNY and Commack FD and gave it all to protect our way of life and to be there when others needed him most. Please keep his family in your prayers. Thanks for your support.
NOAA GOES East Satellite Captures the First Images from Space of Gigantic Jet Lightning
Article originally published: March 23, 2018 | Courtesy: noaa.nesdis.gov
NOAA GOES East (GOES-16) satellite’s Geostationary Lightning Mapper has captured the first images from space of ‘gigantic jet’ lightning – electrical discharges from a thunderstorm that come out the TOP of the storm and reach as high as the ionosphere (that’s 50 miles up).
Thunderstorms can produce electrical discharges that come out the top of the storm and reach the ionosphere (80 km altitude). These are known as gigantic jets. Jets have predominantly been recorded by cameras on the ground. However, new research using the GOES-16 Geostationary Lightning Mapper has identified gigantic jets from space that were produced by Tropical Storm Harvey as it passed Puerto Rico. This research can lead to a better understanding of these spectacular discharges and determine when and where they take place.
