Lightning Return Stroke Speed
The available experimental data on return stroke speed for both negative and positive lightning are reviewed. The often assumed relationship between the return-stroke speed and peak current is shown to be generally not supported by experimental data. Reasons for the return-stroke speed being lower than the speed of light are discussed. Index Terms Lightning return stroke, propagation speed, pea...
متن کاملSpectral Properties of Lightning Return Stroke
Using a slit-less spectrograph the spectra in the range of 390-660nm for first return strokes of CG lightning flashes have been obtained both in Qinghai plateau, northwestern China and in coastal area of Guangdong, southern China respectively. The heights of two observation sites differ by 2500 meters. Appling the atomic structure theory to the research work on lightning spectra, parameters suc...
متن کاملElectromagnetic models of the lightning return stroke
[1] Lightning return-stroke models are needed for specifying the source in studying the production of transient optical emission (elves) in the lower ionosphere, the energetic radiation from lightning, and characterization of the Earth’s electromagnetic environment, as well as studying lightning interaction with various objects and systems. Reviewed here are models based on Maxwell’s equations ...
متن کاملObservation of a gamma-ray flash at ground level in association with a cloud-to-ground lightning return stroke
[1] Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are bright, sub-millisecond bursts of gamma-rays, originating within the Earth’s atmosphere. Most TGFs have been detected by spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. Only two TGFs have previously been observed from within our atmosphere: one at ground level and one from an aircraft at 14.1 km. We report on a new TGF-like gamma-ray flash observed at ground level, d...
متن کاملCN Tower Lightning Return-Stroke Current Simulation
Different functions have been used to model the lightning return-stroke current with the aid of direct current measurements at tall structures. In this paper, a comparison between the Pulse function and Heilder function is carried out to find out the suitability of each of these functions for simulating the lightning return-stroke current, measured at the CN Tower. An automated system for deter...
