This paper describes a comparative analysis of the thunderstorm incidence in southeastern Brazil obtained from thunderstorm days observed at two different epochs (from 1910 to 1951 and from 1971 to 1984) and from lightning data provided by the Brazilian lightning location system RINDAT (from 1999 to 2006) and the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (T...

Lightning attachment to trees was studied based on 37 trees that were struck in Finland in summer 2007 and 2008. The type and severity of lightning damage was correlated with multiple parameters related to the flash, the meteorological characteristics of the strike time, and the surroundings of the tree. Damage was classified into three categories: bark-loss (minor), wood-loss (extensive), end ...

In planning external protection systems, the methods that are widely used conventional and electrostatic lightning rod methods, therefore to study further, results of observations have been made industry there is still no system so author will try plan compare plans two types rods. rods Conventional ( Franklin ) Electrostatic EF Lightning Protection System in terms protection, technical, econom...
