Microsecond-scale Electric Field Pulses in Cloud Lightning Flashes
From wideband electric field records acquired using a 12-bit digitizing system with a 500-ns sampling interval, microsecond-scale pulses in different stages of cloud flashes in Florida and New Mexico are analyzed. The pulse occurrence statistics and waveshape characteristics are presented, The larger pulses tend to occur early in the flash and presumably are related to the flashinitiating break...
متن کاملElectric Field Pulse Bursts in Cloud-to-ground Lightning Discharges
Regular bursts of electric field radiation pulses produced by three multiple-stroke cloud-to-ground discharges recorded in 1991 at the NASA Kennedy Space Center are analyzed. The bursts are similar in the number of pulses per burst and inter-pulse intervals to the “multiple burst” component (so-called component H) of the standard lightning environment for the design and testing of aerospace veh...
متن کاملMesospheric Electric Field Transients due to Tropospheric Lightning Discharges
A physical picture and quantitative two-dimensional electromagnetic modeling of mesospheric electric field transients produced by cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning discharges with short duration currents (<0.5 ms) are presented. The range of applicability of existing quasi-electrostatic models of sprites and the physical conditions under which relatively weak CG lightning discharges (thundercloud ...
متن کاملSubionospheric 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 کاملCloud-to-ground Lightning Warnings Using Electric Field Mill and Lightning Observations
1. Introduction Automated lightning warning systems are a critical component of many day-today operations. This is particularly true of airports but also applies in some industrial applications, such as mining and the manufacture, testing, and handling of explosives and weapons. Many automated lightning warning systems use a combination of lightning detection information and one or more electri...
