3D Computation of Lightning Leader Stepped Propagation Inside a Realistic Cloud

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Physique
The simulation of lightning propagation is a complex problem studied for years. Here we propose to use the information from the electric potential created from a real cloud structure to study the propagation.

Cloud-to-Ground Lightning in Cities: Seasonal Variability and Influential Factors

open access: yesEarth Systems and Environment
AbstractUrban-induced land use changes have a significant impact on local weather patterns, leading to increased hydro-meteorological hazards in cities. Despite substantial threats posed to humans, understanding atmospheric hazards related to urbanisation, such as thunderstorms, lightning, and convective precipitation, remains unclear.

Situational Awareness about Thunderstorms On-board an Aircraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Thunderstorms are top-ranked by pilots as weather situations compromising the flight safety. The information for pilots about adverse weather like thunderstorms today is, if at all, based on significant weather charts. Such services, however, do not give

Characterization of lightning-generated electric fields and development of automated measuring system for cloud-to-ground lightning in Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Lightning flash produces electric discharges naturally into atmosphere which somehow result in negative consequences especially to power, electronic and communication systems.
