  "term": "Lightning Imaging Sensor",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A space-based optical sensor designed to detect and locate lightning flashes over large regions of the Earth's surface. It operates by observing transient changes in cloud-top radiance caused by lightning. The sensor provides data on the distribution and frequency of lightning, which is used for weather forecasting and climate studies.",
