The structure of X-ray emissions from triggered lightning leaders measured by a pinhole-type X-ray camera

Spatial and energy distributions of X-ray emissions from leaders in natural and rocket triggered lightning Energetic radiation is known to be produced by lightning. To investigate these emissions, ground-based observations are being conducted at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT) at Camp Blanding, FL where measurements of energetic radiation from both natural

Three‐dimensional imaging of upward positive leaders in triggered lightning using VHF broadband digital interferometers

Three‐dimensional imaging of upward positive leaders in triggered lightning using VHF broadband digital interferometers Upward positive leaders (UPLs) in two artificially‐ initiated lightning flashes were imaged in three dimensions using VHF broadband digital interferometers and a high‐ speed video camera with time‐synchronized channel‐base current measurements. Locatable VHF sources of the two UPLs began at 1.1
