💨 Abstract

ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) has achieved a breakthrough in forecasting lightning events over India using data from Indian geostationary satellites, specifically the INSAT-3D satellite. The new technique involves observing lightning signatures in Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) data and incorporating additional parameters like Land Surface Temperature (LST) and wind to enhance detection.
