%X A 9-12 station Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) network is being deployed in the vicinity of São  Paulo to create the SP-LMA for total lightning measurements in association with the international CHUVA [Cloud processes of tHe main precipitation systems in Brazil: A contribUtion to cloud resolVing modeling and to the GPM (GlobAl Precipitation Measurement)] field campaign.  Besides supporting CHUVA science/mission objectives and the São Luiz do Paraitinga intensive operation period (IOP) in November-December 2011, the SP-LMA will support the generation of unique proxy data for the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), both sensors on the NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R), presently under development and scheduled for a 2015 launch. The proxy data will be used to develop and validate operational algorithms so that they will be ready for use on Day 1 following the launch of GOES-R. A preliminary survey of potential sites in the vicinity of São Paulo was conducted in December 2009 and January 2010, followed up by a detailed survey in July 2010, with initial network deployment scheduled for October 2010.  However, due to a delay in the São Luiz do Paraitinga IOP, the SP-LMA will be deployed and operated for one year, beginning around August 2011.  Spacing between stations is on the order of 15-30 km, with the network diameter being on the order of 30-40 km, which provides good 3-D lightning mapping 150 km from the network center.
