Lightning networks detect storms
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987 Systems used to detect cloud‐to‐ground lightning flashes are proving to be “a tremendous supplement” to radar and satellite information in forecasting thunderstorms, according to a meteorologist who uses the new systems. Some of the benefits of this technology for weather forecasters, air traffic controllers, and power companies will be discussed in a ...

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...
