Global distribution of winter lightning: a threat to wind turbines and aircraft [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Lightning is one of the major threats to multi-megawatt wind turbines and a concern for modern aircraft due to the use of lightweight composite materials. Both wind turbines and aircraft can initiate lightning, and very favorable conditions for lightning

LMA observations of upward lightning flashes at the Säntis Tower initiated by nearby lightning activity [PDF]

Electric Power Systems Research, 2020
We present in this paper lightning current measurements, LMA (Lightning Mapping Array) data and fast antenna electric fields associated with upward flashes observed at the Säntis Tower during summer of 2017. The LMA network consists of six stations that were installed in the vicinity of the tower at distances ranging from 100 m to 11 km from it. Out of
