3D Charge Imaging

Real-time 3D charge imaging

Hundreds of times more lightning information compared to conventional 2D detection — mapped in full three dimensions.

Real-time 3D charge imaging combines observations from the project’s sensors to reconstruct where charge and developing lightning channels are distributed in a thundercloud. Frequent processing turns those complementary measurements into an evolving 3D view, providing timely information for lightning monitoring and nowcasting.

3D leader channels and charge distribution serve as immediate predictive information for upcoming lightning and thunderstorm activity.
