TLDR
An experimental station for research on lightning and lightning effects was built in the Massif Central (France) in 1973 as discussed by the authors, where the experimental procedure is an application of artificial triggering of lightning flashes by means of the wire and rocket technique, which has previously been shown to be valid by M. M NEWMAN.Abstract:

The physics of lightning
Joseph R. Dwyer,Martin A. Uman +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the physics of lightning can be found in this article, with the goal of providing interested researchers a useful resource for starting work in this fascinating field, and the recent discoveries of intense bursts of X-rays and gamma-rays associated with thunderstorms and lightning illustrate that new and interesting physics is still being discovered in our atmosphere.

Femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulse induced lightning discharges in gases
TL;DR: In this article, a complete theoretical model is presented to simulate the electron seeding and the evolution of the plasma of electron-ion in the applied field, and the results of the theory verified by small scale experiments are used to simulate lightning in atmosphere, and helps to define the parameters of a laser system for lightning protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lightning return stroke models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the two commonly used lightning return stroke models, Bruce-Golde and transmission line, against subsequent stroke electric and magnetic field wave forms measured simultaneously at near and distant stations and show that these models are inadequate to describe the experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lightning Induced Voltages on Power Lines: Experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the voltage induced on a power line by nearby lightning and the vertical electric field intensity from that lightning are correlated measurements for more than 100 first and more than 200 subsequent strokes with the lightning ground strike point located by triangulation using a network of television cameras and by thunder ranging.

A Review of Natural Lightning: Experimental Data and Modeling
Martin A. Uman,E. Philip Krider +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of the currents and the electric and magnetic fields characteristic of cloud-to-ground and intracloud lightning is presented, focusing on the more recent work in which measured waveform variation is in the microsecond and submicro-second range.

Dynamic model of impulse characteristics of concentrated earths
A.C. Liew,M. Darveniza +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic model to describe the nonlinear surge-current characteristics of several concentrated earths has been developed, which accurately accounts for the surge behaviour of these earths on a time-to-time basis, in soils with resistivities ranging from 5000 Ω cm to 31 000 Ωcm.

Cylindrical Shock Waves Produced by Instantaneous Energy Release
TL;DR: In this paper, Taylor's analysis of the intense spherical explosion has been extended to the cylindrical case, and it is shown that the radius R of a strong cylinrical shock wave produced by a sudden release of energy E per unit length grows with time t according to the equation R=S(γ)(E/ρ0)1/4t1/2, where ρ0 is the atmospheric density and S(γ) is a calculated function of the specific heat ratio γ.
