Howdy all!

The Geostationary Lightning Mapper is an instrument on the GOES-16 and
GOES-17 geostationary satellites. The GLM is a high-speed camera, tuned to
a narrow bandwidth to detect lightning events. The GLM data are released in
netCDF/HDF5 format.

The ncglm library is a C/Fortran library to assist researchers using these
data. It reads the events, groups, and flashes from the GLM data file, into
arrays or arrays of structs. The data are unpacked and ready to use.

Get version 1.0 of the ncglm library here:
https://github.com/edhartnett/ncglm/releases/download/v1.0/ncglm-1.0.tar.gz

Documentation is available here: https://edhartnett.github.io/ncglm/
