Fiber-Optic Current Sensor Validation With Triggered Lightning Measurements A fiber optic current sensor based on the Faraday Effect is developed that is highly suitable for aircraft installation and can measure total current enclosed in a fiber loop down to DC. Other attributes include being small, light-weight, nonconducting, safe from electromagnetic interference, and free of hysteresis […]

High‐speed X‐ray images of triggered lightning dart leaders We present the first high‐time resolution two‐dimensional images of X‐ray emissions from lightning. The images were recorded at a rate of 10 million per second using a new pinhole‐type camera, located 44 m from rocket‐and‐wire‐triggered lightning. We report observations of two dart leaders, one in each of

High-speed video observations of rocket-and-wire initiated lightning We present observations of a rocket-and-wire triggered lightning flash obtained with high-speed video cameras recording 5400 and 50000 frames per second (frame times 185 μs and 20 μs) with time-synchronized current and electric field measurements. Transient leader channels were observed with precursor current pulses occurring before the development
