Evaluating lightning hazards to building environments using explicit numerical solutions of Maxwell's equations [PDF]
, 1991 The objective here is to describe the lightning hazards to buildings and their internal environments using advanced formulations of Maxwell's Equations. The method described is the Three Dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain Solution.

Risk zoning of lightning disaster in Hubei Province based on improved analytic hierarchy process
暴雨灾害, 2023 Determining accurately the relative importance of evaluation indicators is one of the key technologies for lightning disaster risk zoning. In order to solve the problem of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in judging the relative importance of indices by ...

Variation of lightning-ignited wildfire patterns under climate change
Nature Communications, 2023 Lightning is the main precursor of natural wildfires and Long-Continuing-Current (LCC) lightning flashes are proposed to be the main igniters of lightning-ignited wildfires (LIW).

Extratropical forests increasingly at risk due to lightning fires
Nature Geoscience, 2023 Fires can be ignited by people or by natural causes, which are almost exclusively lightning strikes. Discriminating between lightning and anthropogenic fires is paramount when estimating impacts of changing socioeconomic and climatological conditions on ...

Comparative analysis of cloud-ground flash data of two lightning location networks in Hubei Province
暴雨灾害, 2021 Based on location mode, current intensity and clustering standard, quality control is carried on the lightning stroke data of ADTD two dimensional lightning location network (2D-LLN) and VLF/LF three dimensional lightning location network (3D-LLN) in ...

Exploring Perceptions of Control Within Offender Cognition and Recidivism Paradigms
Europe's Journal of Psychology, 2022 Elements of perceived control are associated with recidivism in offender populations. We investigated the application of locus of control to the frequency of personal involvement with the law and to beliefs surrounding the likelihood of future contact ...

Lightning strike probability and current simulation for simple structures and floating roof tank
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2022 Air terminations must be strategically positioned at high-risk points to prevent lightning bypass. The likelihood of a direct lightning strike to points on a building can be evaluated using the dynamic electro-geometrical model (DEGM), which considers ...
