LI Lightning Events Filtered - MTG - 0 degree

LI Level 2 Lightning Events Filtered (LEF) is one of the initial products, along with Lightning Flashes (LFL) and Lightning Groups (LGR), and provides the finest scale over which LI can monitor lightning activity. Lightning Flashes and Lightning Groups contain two variables that provide the size of each group and flash in units of LI pixels, ie number_of_events and flash_footprint, respectively. To compute the exact physical size of a group/flash, users should use the information available in Lightning Events Filtered. One can derive such a descriptor only by knowing which events compose a group/flash and employing the physical size of the projection of each event on the Earth's surface for the computation.
