                         for total lightning measurements in association with the

                         to the GPM (GlobAl Precipitation Measurement)] field campaign. 
                         Besides supporting CHUVA science/mission objectives and the 
                         S{\~a}o 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 S{\~a}o 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 S{\~a}o 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.",
