Subionospheric propagation and peak currents of preliminary breakdown pulses before negative cloud-to-ground lightning discharges
We analyze broadband electromagnetic measurements of pulse sequences occurring prior to first return strokes of negative cloud-to-ground lightning flashes. Signals generated by lightning discharges were recorded close to the thunderstorm by a magnetic field receiver and traveled up to 600km to three distant electric field receivers. We found that amplitudes of observed preliminary breakdown pul...
متن کاملLightning and severe thunderstorms in event management.
There are a few national position stands/guidelines that address environmental conditions in athletics, yet they do not govern all outdoor sports. Extreme heat and cold, lightning, and severe wind can all be fatal, yet the majority of outdoor sports have no published guidelines addressing these conditions in relation to activity. Available research on extreme heat and cold conditions in athleti...
متن کاملTime domain simulations of preliminary breakdown pulses in natural lightning
Lightning discharge is a complicated process with relevant physical scales spanning many orders of magnitude. In an effort to understand the electrodynamics of lightning and connect physical properties of the channel to observed behavior, we construct a simulation of charge and current flow on a narrow conducting channel embedded in three-dimensional space with the time domain electric field in...
متن کاملThe Effects of Charge and Electrostatic Potential on Lightning Propagation
Three-dimensional lightning mapping observations are compared to cloud charge structures and electric potential profiles inferred from balloon soundings of electric field in New Mexico mountain thunderstorms. The comparisons consistently show good agreement between the altitudes of horizontal lightning channels and the altitudes of electric potential extrema or wells. Lightning flashes appear t...
متن کاملAnalysis of Streamer Propagation for Electric Breakdown in Liquid/Bioliquid
There is an increasing interest in the study of direct plasma generated in liquid/ bioliquid as it fi nds more applications in both industry and academic research. For all the applications, it is important to get a better understanding of the key physical mechanisms of the breakdown process. In the present paper, streamer propagation during an electric breakdown process of dielectric liquid was...
