Key Points

Lightning Imager detects 1-3 million flashes daily, providing real-time storm cell tracking and long-term lightning statistics.
Performance evaluation shows 80-90% detection efficiency, with location and timing accuracies of 5-10 km and ~1 millisecond respectively.
Operational data includes point and accumulated lightning products, enhancing severe weather monitoring when combined with other sensor data.
Continuous monitoring against established lightning detection systems ensures high reliability and low false alarm rates.
