Scenic Area Intelligent Lightning Online Monitoring and Early Warning System

Henan Bangxin Anti-corrosion Materials Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of lightning warning systems.

Lightning monitoring and warning refer to the use of lightning location, radar, satellite, ground electric field, and sounding observation data, through multi-data fusion applications, statistical analysis, near-field extrapolation, and numerical forecasting techniques, to identify, track, and forecast warnings for areas where lightning may occur or has already occurred.

Real-time monitoring of lightning activities and graded warnings for lightning proximity have been implemented at key sites, effectively preventing and reducing the impact of lightning.

Using single-station electric field observations makes it difficult to estimate the location of thunderstorm clouds. The warning area and advance warning time are very limited, and there are some uncertainties. Additionally, since ground atmospheric electric field measurements are greatly affected by the installation environment, especially in urban areas, it is difficult to find ideal installation conditions.

Therefore, the average electric field warning indicators used at different sites vary and require site calibration or empirical criteria based on long-term observations.

For passing thunderstorms, due to the limited effective response range of electric field meters, the advance warning time is significantly restricted (though this can be mitigated through networked observations or other methods such as radar, satellite, and lightning location systems). For newly formed thunderstorm clouds within the observation network of electric field meters, ground electric field observations can theoretically achieve excellent warning results (using the average trend of electric field changes as a warning indicator), though this still requires validation through actual observations.
