A survey of theoretical and experimental research, this book covers all areas of lightning phenomenology. The four sections cover models of fundamental lightning processes, propagation of lightning-induced signals, measurement of lightning parameters, and lightning interaction with systems. The book provides an excellent review of the use of models to support remote sensing efforts. It includes data on high-frequency radiated fields for lightening and an overview of the data available in the frequency and time domains for lightning. The book also presents spectoral and temporal characteristics of lightning in the VHF-UHF frequency range and uses photographic and electromagnetic measurements to examine how lighting chooses a strike point.
This book about lightning summarizes the essence of physics and effects of lightning in a non-technical manner and provides an up-to-date description of the phenomenon of lightning in simple language.
Understanding lightning is of importance due to the increase in extreme weather events. The 2nd edition of this classic work has been thoroughly updated and revised, with new content on EM radiation at various wavelengths.
This unique book provides the reader with a thorough background in almost every aspect of lightning and its impact on electrical and electronic equipment.
Presents the current state of the art in lightning science, for advanced undergraduate and graduate students on a single-semester course.
