    • Emerging measurement technologies and integrated observing approaches
    Developments in Earth System Measurements and Technologies
    Severe convective weather can develop rapidly, making early detection of thunderstorm electrification essential for effective warning. This presentation introduces a standalone, ground-based sensor designed to detect both the electrical charge development associated with thunderstorms and weak intracloud lightning activity. By identifying these precursors to mature lightning, the system supports earlier recognition of hazardous Cumulonimbus development and intensification. The sensor is particularly suited to remote locations and areas without access to weather radar. It provides sensitive, local monitoring that complements established lightning-detection networks, helping to extend warning lead times for severe convective hazards.
