The relationship between smart devices and human beings is one of the research hotspots of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). In this regard, we explored the practical relationship between the 3D electric field components measured by the smart 3D atmospheric electric field apparatus (AEFA) and the thunderstorm activity from the perspective of the observer. Especially, in the application of AEFA, a smart calibration method is proposed to solve the problem of inconvenient thunderstorm data acquisition. Firstly, in order to obtain the thunderstorm charge position from the observation angle of the apparatus, this paper establishes a 3D electric field measurement model. According to the mirror method theory, we further obtain the charge potential distribution at AEFA. Then, the electric field components are derived by using the potential distribution formula with permittivity. In addition, based on the vector relation of the model, the thunderstorm charge azimuth and elevation angles are obtained. Finally, after the establishment of a new coordinate system, the calibration of charge localization is carried out, based on the observation point. Meanwhile, a preliminary solution is given to the problem that the elevation of the apparatus position affects the localization performance. Results show that the method matches the data of radar map and microphone array, which reflects the advantages of the method. Besides, this method can be used not only in sound source localization but also in AI thunderstorm monitoring system to realize a big data net observation.
