Lightning detection and data processing capabilities continue to evolve. This session aims to discuss where we are as well as to outline the capabilities that will be coming in the near future, including instrumentation, data processing techniques, and machine learning applications of lightning data. Inter-comparisons between different technologies are welcome to evaluate the capabilities between different systems as well as potential synergistic applications.
