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.

Adverse weather impact on aviation safety, investigation and oversight [PDF]
, 1985 A brief review of the weather factors that effect aviation safety with respect to U.S. Coast Guard operations is presented. Precise meteorological information is an absolute necessity to the Coast Guard which must conduct life saving and rescue ...

Could Ball Lightning Be Magnetic Monopoles? [PDF]
arXivWhile magnetic monopoles have extensive theoretical justification for their existence, but have proved elusive to observe, ball lightning is both relatively frequently observed and largely unexplained theoretically. It was first proposed in 1990 that ball lightning might result from the catalysis of nuclear fission by a magnetic monopole.

Ka-chow! A simple irregular 2D lattice model of lightning [PDF]
arXivA model of lightning that captures the propagation of lightning channels on an irregular lattice is developed. The irregular lattice allows us to capture large two-dimensional systems (2 km x 2 km), while allowing grid refinement (on the order of cm) near areas of interest.

The QT interval in lightning injury with implications for the cessation of metabolism hypothesis [PDF]
An hypothesis is presented to provide an alternative to the Cessation of Metabolism hypothesis often invoked in lightning injury. Cessation of Metabolism has been proposed to explain the observation of good recovery after a prolonged period in cardiac ...

Overview of safety research [PDF]
Aircraft safety is reviewed by first establishing a perspective of air transportation accidents as a function of calendar year, geographic area, and phase of flight, and then by describing the threats to safety and NASA research underway in the three ...
