A core expertise of Vaisala is their thunderstorm and lightning detection systems.  Vaisala offers lightning sensors to detect both in-cloud (also known as cloud-to-cloud lightning) and cloud-to-ground lightning.  Monitoring the total lightning allows users to make informed decisions about the safety and protection of their personnel, assets, property and operations when thunderstorms are in the area.  In addition to lightning sensors, Vaisala provides tracking software, warning systems, historical data, and real-time monitoring through detection networks.
