New sat-based system to provide 2.5-hr advance warning of potential lightning strikes
The National Remote Sensing Centre and Isro have developed a lightning event prediction system using data from Indian geostationary satellites. By analyzing Outgoing Longwave Radiation and incorporating Land Surface Temperature and wind data, the system provides approximately 2.5 hours of advance warning, enhancing early warning capabilities and potentially saving lives in lightning-prone regions across India.
