LI Accumulated Flashes - MTG - 0 degree

LI Level 2 Accumulated Flashes (AF) complements the LI Level 2 Accumulated Flash Area (AFA) by providing one with the variation of the number of events within those regions reported to have lightning flashes in the Accumulated Flash Area (AFA). Accumulated Flashes provide users with data about the mapping of the number of LI events/detections rather than the mapping of flashes. One should keep in mind that the absolute value within each pixel of the Accumulated Flashes has no real physical meaning; it is rather a proxy for the pixel-by-pixel variation of the number of events. It is worth noting that one can derive the flash rate over a region encompassing a complete lightning feature (not within an FCI grid pixel) in Accumulated Flashes; this stems from the definition in Accumulated (gridded) data.
