The atmospheric electric field monitor continuously detects the strength of the atmospheric electric field, records the trend of electric field changes, supports uploading data to the cloud monitoring platform via 4G network, and achieves remote real-time monitoring. When the electric field strength reaches the preset threshold, the device automatically sends out a warning signal, indicating possible lightning activity, and the warning time can be advanced by 5-30 minutes.

1、 Application Environment Description
Atmospheric electric field monitoring instrumentIt is a high-precision lightning monitoring and warning device that can monitor real-time changes in the electric field in the atmosphere, accurately capture the traces of lightning activity, and provide strong support for the prevention of lightning disasters.
In the field of meteorological monitoring, atmospheric electric field meters can be widely used in meteorological stations to continuously and uninterrupted monitor lightning activity in the region, providing key data for weather forecasting and meteorological disaster warning. By analyzing changes in atmospheric electric fields, meteorological departments can predict the probability, intensity, and development trend of lightning weather in advance, issue lightning warning signals in a timely manner, and provide important reference for the safe operation of the public, aviation, navigation, and other industries.
For various places that are susceptible to lightning strikes, such as petrochemical enterprises, communication base stations, power facilities, high-rise buildings, etc., atmospheric electric field meters can be used as important monitoring tools for lightning protection. Installing atmospheric electric field meters around these places can monitor the dynamic changes of the surrounding atmospheric electric field in real time. When the strength of the atmospheric electric field exceeds the preset threshold, an alarm can be triggered in a timely manner to remind staff to take corresponding protective measures, such as stopping outdoor operations and shutting down key equipment, effectively reducing the losses caused by lightning disasters to personnel safety and equipment and facilities.
In addition, atmospheric electric field meters also have certain application value in industries such as agriculture and forestry. In agricultural production, knowing lightning weather information in advance is helpful for arranging agricultural activities reasonably, avoiding crop losses caused by lightning weather, and also ensuring the safety of agricultural workers. In forestry, atmospheric electric field instruments can be used to monitor lightning activity, prevent forest fires caused by lightning strikes, and provide protection for forest resources.
