Lightning Return Stroke Speed
The available experimental data on return stroke speed for both negative and positive lightning are reviewed. The often assumed relationship between the return-stroke speed and peak current is shown to be generally not supported by experimental data. Reasons for the return-stroke speed being lower than the speed of light are discussed. Index Terms Lightning return stroke, propagation speed, pea...
متن کاملInteractive Video for Handheld Camera Captures
This project is an extension of interactive dynamic video using a Lagrangian flow field. We extract and track feature points of objects in the a video, then perform modal analysis to simulate object responses to user interactions. We showed that the approach can correct for global motion from handheld camera movements, and with carefully curated feature points, the interpolation scheme can resu...
متن کاملInitiation and propagation of cloud-to-ground lightning observed with a high-speed video camera
Complete evolution of a lightning discharge, from its initiation at an altitude of about 4 km to its ground attachment, was optically observed for the first time at the Lightning Observatory in Gainesville, Florida. The discharge developed during the late stage of a cloud flash and was initiated in a decayed branch of the latter. The initial channel section was intermittently illuminated for ov...
متن کاملUltrahigh-speed non-invasive widefield angiography.
Retinal and choroidal vascular imaging is an important diagnostic benefit for ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. The current gold standard for vessel visualization is fluorescence angiography. We present a potential non-invasive alternative to image blood vessels based on functional Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). For OCT to compete with the field of vi...
متن کاملInsights into the ground attachment process of natural lightning gained from an unusual triggered-lightning stroke
[1] We present measured electric and magnetic field and current derivatives from an unusual triggered-lightning stroke that was initiated by a dart-stepped leader and that involved an upward connecting leader. The initial rising portion of the current (integrated dI/dt) waveform is composed of a ‘‘slow front’’ rising to 20 kA in 2.2 ms, followed by a ‘‘fast transition’’ from 20 to 27 kA in 0.2 ...
