Lightning Physics: A Three Year Program

摘要

The work was reported in five publications: Calculations of Lightning Return Stroke Electric and Magnetic Fields above Ground, Electric Fields Preceding Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Flashes, A Comparison of Lightning Electromagnetic Fields with the Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse in the Frequency Range 10000 to 10000000 Hz, Transient Electric and Magnetic Fields Associated with Establishing a Finite Electrostatic Dipole, and Variation in Light Intensity with Height and Time from Subsequent Lightning Return Strokes.
