چکیده
In this lecture, the theoretical basis for the deterministic and statistical estimation of the lightning current from distant field measurements is presented. The influence of the presence of an elevated strike object on the peak of the lightning return stroke current determined from remote field measurements is also discussed.

Determination of lightning currents from far electromagnetic fields: Effect of a strike object
We discuss in this paper the influence of the presence of an elevated strike object on the peak of the lightning return stroke current determined from remote field measurements. We develop analytical expressions relating the lightning return stroke channel-base current and the far electromagnetic field for different specific cases, namely, (1) ground-initiated return strokes (classical transmis...
متن کاملSimultaneous remote electric and magnetic field measurements of lightning continuing currents
[1] Remote detection and measurement of the slowly varying continuing current that follows some lightning return strokes is difficult. Slow changes in quasi-static electric fields have been most frequently used to remotely measure continuing current. Because of the rapid attenuation of dipole electric fields with distance, though, the range over which the current will produce a measurable signa...
متن کاملLightning strikes to tall objects: Currents inferred from far electromagnetic fields versus directly measured currents
[1] We have derived far-field-to-current conversion factors for lightning strikes to tall objects for (1) the initial peak current at the object top, (2) the largest peak current at the object top, and (3) the peak current at the object bottom. These far-field-to-current conversion factors are needed for proper interpretation of peak currents reported by lightning detection networks and are eac...
متن کاملInduced Disturbance in Power Network by Lightning
In this work the transient analysis of a power network excited by indirect lightning is performed directly in time domain. Using the FDTD, we calculate induced currents and voltages in each node for a three-phase power network. The topological analysis of the network where each element (power line and lumped charge) is considered, allows deducing the matrix equation. In this electrical network ...
متن کاملRemote measurements of thundercloud electrostatic fields
[1] Analytical and numerical models of the radio frequency emissions produced by relativistic runaway electron avalanches initiated by cosmic ray extensive air showers are presented. It is found that single-point measurements of the distant electromagnetic fields allow the remote determination of the electrostatic field in the runaway electron avalanche region. For instance, it is possible to u...
