- Discover the first results from Europe’s first Lightning Imager onboard the Meteosat Third Generation. The Lightning Imager can continuously detect rapid flashes of lighting in Earth’s atmosphere whether day or night from a distance of 36 000 km.
This is the first time a geostationary weather satellite has the capability to detect lightning across Europe, Africa and the surrounding waters. Each camera can capture up to 1000 images per second and will continuously observe lightning activity from space. The data will give weather forecasters greater confidence in their predictions of severe storms.

I love ESA!
fascinating
Incredible technology to make this kind of images possible !... Well done ESA !!
Wow what an incredibly useful instrument. It will be interesting to compare data over time.
Amazing. I so appreciate all the great technology ESA and NASA have developed to help us understand more about our planet!
Very nice !
Thanks🌟 great info ; look forward to more😊
Love it! Sometimes it feels like the world is on fire, but with this satellite orbiting in the Arthur C Clarke Belt, it is a humbling thing to see lighting strikes from such a distance and helps give me a little perspective. Well done!
Most excellent!
Does wonders for a global view on things.
Such an inspiring view! This is the proof Leonardo doesn't need weapons to do incredible things.
I love Lightnings, they have such a Power!!!
That is amazing. Congratulations to all involved.
Thank you!
That's so cool! Which elements does the satellite have to detect these lightings?
Thank you for your question! The MTG (Meteosat Third Generation) satellite utilises the Lightning Imager (LI) instrument to detect lightning activity. The LI instrument is designed to capture high-resolution images of lightning discharges. It can detect both intra-cloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flashes. By analysing the data from the LI instrument, scientists can gather information about the frequency, intensity, and distribution of lightning activity. This data is crucial for weather monitoring, forecasting, and research purposes. The LI instrument on the MTG satellite plays a vital role in enhancing our understanding of lightning phenomena and its impact on weather systems.
The speed of cloud charging to the breakdown voltage depends on the cosine of latitude, season and time of day.@@EuropeanSpaceAgency
All that power and none of it being harvested.
Ouah! Ces caméras sont autre chose
Thunderstorm, frontal and volcanic clouds are charged from the ionosphere. If, instead of a cloud above the ground, a conductive plate of a large area is raised, lightning will fly from it to the ground around the clock for millions of years. This is how the ionospheric power plants I invented will work.

Never got to the moon either !

2:46 what is the thing moving from center to left top corner
As explained in the video, the movement you observed from the center to the top left corner is the evolution of a large cluster of tropical thunderstorms. ⛈
@@EuropeanSpaceAgency no talking about the light moving across the screen starting at 2:44 close to the middle moving fast upwards to the left disappearing and appearing again 2:46
Ok it might just be the suns reflection 🤦🏻♂️
INTELLIGENCE SCARCITY WATER:
Water can never be Scarce in the Universe, due to molecular buildup, and because of the Abundance on Earth.
If Water would have been Scarce in the Universe, it would also have been scarce on Earth.
Water however, can also be solid or Vapor. Liquid water yes that is scarce, but we can melt or cool the other phases of Water.
Is there a version of this video translated into spanish or with spanish subtitles?
Unfortunately no, there is currently no version of this video translated into Spanish or with Spanish subtitles. However, you can try using CZcams's auto-translate feature to generate captions in Spanish. Simply click on the "CC" button in the video player, then select the "Auto-translate" option and choose Spanish as the target language.
@@EuropeanSpaceAgencyMuchas gracias. Ojalá pronto los cientos de millones de hablantes de español podamos acceder al material que nos ofrecen tan amablemente, pero que, lamentablemente, no podemos aprovechar a plena satisfacción.
🤤....
Can't we get whole planet Earth lightning data
I think a US satellite collects similar data for North America. GOES 16 or something like that.
Не впечатлило.
That is amazing 🤩
