ISRO develops advanced system for early prediction of lightning strikes across India using satellite data

ISRO announced on Tuesday that it has made significant strides in nowcasting (weather forecasting) for lightning events across India by leveraging data from Indian geostationary satellites. This achievement comes from the efforts of ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). The agency explained that atmospheric lightning results from complex interactions among meteorological parameters influenced by convective processes within the troposphere. Key contributors to these convection phenomena include surface radiation, temperature, and wind patterns.
