Lightning Performance on Overhead Distribution Lines : After Improvement Field Observation [PDF]

ITB Journal of Engineering Science, 2009
Two feeders of 20 kV overhead distribution lines which are located in a high lightning density area are chosen to be observed as a field study due to their good lightning performance after improvement of lightning protection system.

Observations of Electric Fields Sounding in the Mature Stage of a Thunderstorm

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
Successive electric field soundings separated by only 6 min provided a rare view of charge structure of a mature thunderstorm. The observations reveal horizontally inhomogeneous charge regions, an unusually deep upper negative layer, and charge features that cannot be readily explained by current thunderstorm electrification mechanisms. ABSTRACT In the

The Seductive Detail Effect and Why It Matters for College Textbook Reading

Journal of Adolescent &Adult Literacy, Volume 70, Issue 1, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this article, we discuss the seductive detail effect and its potentially harmful presence in learning materials like college textbooks. Our goal is to consider how seductive details can be detrimental to learning from text, particularly for those readers who struggle the most with college‐level texts, and how to mitigate those negative ...

Finding Fireballs in Lightning: A Daily Pipeline to Find Meteors in Weather Satellite Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Weather satellite data contains a wealth of information well beyond its application to meteorology. The GOES weather satellite Geostationary Lightning Mapper instruments detect millions of lightning strikes per day. Within these “haystacks” of lightning are a handful of “needles” of bolides (aka bright fireballs, or exploding meteors). We have

ST-segment elevation following lightning strike: case report and review of the literature

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2015
Lightning strikes may cause injury to the heart, ranging from slight electrocardiographic changes to fatal damage. As heart injury is the most important cause of mortality in these patients, cardiac monitoring is crucial.

Study on Transient Overvoltage and Surge Arrester Electrical Stresses in Offshore Wind Farms Under Multiple Lightning Strokes

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Lightning strikes are a major cause of wind turbine (WT) damage, with approximately 80% of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes exhibiting a multi-stroke characteristic. Therefore, studying the transient overvoltages induced by multiple lightning strokes is

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

Knowledge, attitude, and practices towards lightning among vulnerable group: A case study on Agri farmers and fishermen

Sustainable Environment
Bangladeshi fishermen and Agri farmers are particularly at risk from lightning strikes. There is little evidence of this population’s response, especially in rural locations at risk of lightning strikes.

Attractive Space Evaluation Method for HVDC Transmission Lines

Energies
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines are increasing in number and overall length. This means their lightning protection must be of higher importance as well. Probability-modulated attractive space (PMAS) theory is a proven geometry-based

Modeling the Probability of Dry Lightning‐Induced Wildfires in Tasmania: A Machine Learning Approach

Geophysical Research Letters
Dry lightning is a prevalent episodic natural ignition source for wildfires, particularly in remote regions where such fires can escalate into uncontrollable events, burning extensive areas.
