Abstract The Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) on the International Space Station (ISS) provides optical radiances and images of lightning flashes in several spectral bands. This work presents a lightning flash simultaneously observed from space by ASIM, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the Lightning Imaging Sensor on the International Space Station (ISS‐LIS); and from ground by the Colombia‐Lightning Mapping Array (Colombia‐LMA). Volumetric weather radar provides reflectivity data to help t…
