Lightning: Physics and Effects
Vladimir A. Rakov,Martin A. Uman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of lightning and its effects in the atmosphere and the distant lightning electromagnetic environment: atmospherics, Schumann resonances and whistlers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review and evaluation of lightning return stroke models including some aspects of their application
Vladimir A. Rakov,Martin A. Uman +1 more
TL;DR: Several aspects of the calculation of lightning electric and magnetic fields in which return stroke models are used to specify the source are considered, including equations for fields and channel-base current, as well as a discussion of channel tortuosity and branches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The electromagnetic radiation from a finite antenna
TL;DR: For the case of a finite linear antenna along which a fixed current waveform propagates, the authors presented analytical time−domain solutions for the electric and magnetic radiation (far) fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic field of lightning return stroke
Martin A. Uman,D. Kenneth McLain +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic flux density due to first and subsequent lightning return strokes is calculated for distances from the strokes of 0.5 to 200 km, and it is shown that, contrary to the claims of Norinder and co-workers, the magnetic field rise time for a stroke within a distance of about 20 km is essentially unrelated to the current rise time in the stroke channel base.
