Evaluation of U.S. National Lightning Detection Network performance characteristics using rocket‐triggered lightning data acquired in 2004–2009

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 […]

Determination of the electric field intensity and space charge density versus height prior to triggered lightning

Determination of the electric field intensity and space charge density versus height prior to triggered lightning We infer the vertical profiles of space charge density and electric field intensity above ground by comparing modeling and measurements of the ground‐level electric field changes caused by elevating grounded lightning‐triggering wires. The ground‐level electric fields at distances of

Co-location of lightning leader x-ray and electric field change sources

Co-location of lightning leader x-ray and electric field change sources Using an eight-station time of arrival (TOA) network composed of NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors and wideband electric field derivative (dE/dt) antennas covering approximately 1 km2 on the ground, we have located both the sources of X-ray emissions and electric field changes produced during the leader phase
