The Fly’s Eye GLM Simulator (FEGS) is an airborne radiometer designed to calibrate and validate the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) on the GOES-16 satellite. It features a 5 x 5 array of radiometers that measure the optical radiance emitted by lightning at 777.4 nm. Additionally, it has five extra spectral channels at 337, 400, 500, 660, and 675 nm. FEGS offers a spatial resolution of 2 x 2 km and a temporal resolution of 10 μs.
