Lightning

Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative, 2018
It seems, to Rose - that when it comes to lightning - grown-ups expect children to swallow some pretty farfetched stories. How lightning peeled the varnish right off the cedar fence, right beside a hydro pole, practically on top of where Dad was standing at the time.

An Empirical Analysis of Privacy in the Lightning Network

Financial Cryptography, 2020
Payment channel networks, and the Lightning Network in particular, seem to offer a solution to the lack of scalability and privacy offered by Bitcoin and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies.

Severe Convective Storms across Europe and the United States. Part I: Climatology of Lightning, Large Hail, Severe Wind, and Tornadoes

Journal of Climate, 2020
As lightning-detection records lengthen and the efficiency of severe weather reporting increases, more accurate climatologies of convective hazards can be constructed. In this study we aggregate flashes from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN)

Flood & Loot: A Systemic Attack on The Lightning Network

Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies, 2020
The Lightning Network promises to alleviate Bitcoin's known scalability problems. The operation of such second layer approaches relies on the ability of participants to turn to the blockchain to claim funds at any time, which is assumed to happen rarely.

A Deep Learning Network for Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Nowcasting with Multisource Data

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2020
Precise and timely lightning nowcasting is still a great challenge for meteorologists. In this study, a new semantic segmentation deep learning network for cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning nowcasting, named LightningNet, has been developed. This network is

LIGHTNING AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION

2004
Lightning is the visible discharge of static electricity within a cloud, betweenclouds, or between the earth and a cloud. It is one of natures most destructive forces.Lightning is the largest single cause of fire in suburban and rural areas, and it killsmore people than tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods combined.

A terrestrial gamma-ray flash and ionospheric ultraviolet emissions powered by lightning

Science, 2019
Gamma-ray flash from a lightning leader Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are millisecond pulses of gamma rays produced by thunderstorms. Neubert et al. observed a TGF from above, using instruments on the International Space Station.

Effects of Lightning Channel Equivalent Impedance on Lightning Performance of Overhead Transmission Lines

IEEE transactions on electromagnetic compatibility (Print), 2019
Modeling of lightning return-stroke channel affects significantly the estimation of fast-front overvoltages arising across overhead line insulators, thus, also the lightning performance of power lines.
