Lightning Strike Victim Data [PDF]

About 40 million lightning strikes hit the ground in the United States each year. But the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are less than one in a million, and almost 90% of all lightning strike victims survive.

Analysis of the control system of a high tension test laboratory on composite materials for aeronautic applications [PDF]

, 2013
As everybody know energy delivered by a lightning is much higher than energy managed daily by humans and so two requirements a lightning lab should satisfy: first and most important safety for people for buildings and for electrical circuitS.

Bath Vibration During Open Eye Formation in a Physical Model of a Steelmaking Ladle

steel research international, EarlyView.
Using a physical model, this study shows that vibration measurements reliably predict open eye size in steelmaking ladles, offering a practical alternative to visual monitoring. Vessel vibrations stabilize faster than the open eye, except at high frequencies near the bottom.

Fatal lightning strikes in Ireland from newspaper records 1900–2024

Weather, EarlyView.
This study presents a chronology of fatal lightning strikes in Ireland (1900–2024) derived from digitised newspaper archives. Analysis provides insights into the seasonality, location, victim activity and synoptic conditions (from Lamb weather types) of 94 fatal events causing 113 deaths.

Research on Differentiated Lightning Protection of Overhead Distribution Lines under Continuous Lightning Strikes

Energies
Distribution lines are an important component of a power system. Lightning disasters have serious adverse effects on the reliability of the power supply in distribution networks.

Unusual vertical oscillations of a radiosonde

Weather, EarlyView.
In summer 2023 in southern England, several unusual balloon launches were observed which descended for a few minutes before resuming ascent. This unusual vertical oscillation was repeated several times in a ‘roller‐coaster’‐like pattern. This article discusses the behaviour of the balloons.

Deep Learning for High-Speed Lightning Footage—A Semantic Segmentation Network Comparison

Atmosphere
We present a novel deep learning approach to a unique image processing application: high-speed (>1000 fps) video footage of lightning. High-speed cameras enable us to observe lightning with microsecond resolution, characterizing key processes previously ...

Do the public take action when a severe snow warning is issued?

Weather, EarlyView.
Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the population, making timely warnings essential for preparedness. The UK Met Office’s National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) has issued impact‐based alerts for over a decade, yet evaluations of their effectiveness remain limited.

Refined risk assessment and differentiated protection of lightning damage in distribution network lines considering the underlying surface environment

Frontiers in Energy Research
The distribution line is widely distributed and the span of pole-towers is small. However, the existing lightning positioning system has limited positioning accuracy, and the lightning strike coordinates it locates have certain deviations for the ...
