A field mill is a gadget that measures static electric field strength, giving so and so volts per metre. The higher that goes the more chance of a discharge to equilibrate ie. lightning.
Cheers, Mike.
Would it help or make things worse to send up small rockets with wires to essentially encourage strikes to a safe place?

It would add to the cost per launch. Remember the shuttle. It was encased in a cage. While you could pump in liquid propellant the SRBs were a different issue.
