Lightning serves as a valuable tool for determining storm strength and forecasting dangerous weather phenomena. While there is a wide variety of instruments designed to detect lightning, the two types that will be the focus of this study detect either radio signals or light photons emitted by lightning.


In 2017, a high-altitude aircraft carrying instruments to simulate satellite lightning detection was flown during a field campaign. Ground-based radio and airborne optical lightning data collected during this field campaign will be leveraged to better understand how storms with atypical electrification structures impact interpretation of lightning measured by these instruments’.
