Estimation of Charge during a Lightning Flash Using Electric Field Measurements

1 INTRODUCTION Electric power utilities have sustained significant damage from lightning. The occurrence of line faults is one result of lightning damage. To prevent it, power utilities adopt various measures of protection from lightning. Transmission line overhead ground wires greatly contribute to a decrease in the number of line faults by preventing direct hits to the power lines. Lightning ...

Nanoparticle Near-Surface Electric Field.

Theoretical studies show that surface reconstruction in some crystals involves splitting the surface atomic layer into two-upper and lower-sublayers consisting of atoms with only positive or only negative effective electric charges, respectively. In a macroscopic crystal with an almost infinite surface, the electric field induced by such a surface-dipole is practically totally concentrated betw...

Electric Field Pulse Bursts in Cloud-to-ground Lightning Discharges

Regular bursts of electric field radiation pulses produced by three multiple-stroke cloud-to-ground discharges recorded in 1991 at the NASA Kennedy Space Center are analyzed. The bursts are similar in the number of pulses per burst and inter-pulse intervals to the “multiple burst” component (so-called component H) of the standard lightning environment for the design and testing of aerospace veh...

Mesospheric Electric Field Transients due to Tropospheric Lightning Discharges

A physical picture and quantitative two-dimensional electromagnetic modeling of mesospheric electric field transients produced by cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning discharges with short duration currents (<0.5 ms) are presented. The range of applicability of existing quasi-electrostatic models of sprites and the physical conditions under which relatively weak CG lightning discharges (thundercloud ...

Microsecond-scale Electric Field Pulses in Cloud Lightning Flashes

From wideband electric field records acquired using a 12-bit digitizing system with a 500-ns sampling interval, microsecond-scale pulses in different stages of cloud flashes in Florida and New Mexico are analyzed. The pulse occurrence statistics and waveshape characteristics are presented, The larger pulses tend to occur early in the flash and presumably are related to the flashinitiating break...
