Survey of Lightning Phenomenology

This book covers all areas of lightning phenomenology, including both theoretical and experimental research.

Section Overviews

The four sections include models of fundamental lightning processes, propagation of lightning-induced signals, measurement of lightning parameters, and lightning interaction with systems.

Modeling and Data

The book provides an excellent review of the use of models to support remote sensing efforts. It includes data on high-frequency radiated fields for lightning and an overview of the data available in the frequency and time domains for lightning.

Characteristics and Measurements

The book also presents spectral and temporal characteristics of lightning in the VHF-UHF frequency range and uses photographic and electromagnetic measurements to examine how lightning chooses a strike point.
