Optical Lightning Detection

Optical Lightning Detection is a method of lightning observation that identifies and locates electrical discharges in the atmosphere by detecting the optical emissions they produce, distinguishing it from other lightning detection techniques through its reliance on visible or near-visible electromagnetic radiation.
