Characterization of return‐stroke currents in rocket‐triggered lightning [PDF]
We present a statistical analysis of the salient characteristics of current waveforms for 206 return strokes in 46 rocket‐triggered lightning flashes. The flashes were triggered during a variety of experiments related to the interaction of lightning with power lines that were conducted from 1999 through 2004 at the International Center for Lightning ...

In-flight measurements of energetic radiation from lightning and thunderclouds [PDF]
In the certification procedure aircraft builders carry out so-called icing tests flights, where the zero degree Celsius altitude is deliberately sought and crossed in or under thunderstorms. Airbus also used these flights to test ILDAS, a system aimed to

Genetic algorithm (GA) is applied for the estimation of two-peaked analytically extended function (2P-AEF) parameters in this paper. 2P-AEF is used for approximation of measured and typical lightning discharge currents.

X-ray Observations at Gaisberg Tower
We report the occurrence of X-rays at ground level due to cloud-to-ground flashes of upward-initiated lightning from Gaisberg Tower, in Austria, which is located at an altitude of 1300 m.

Initiation processes of return strokes in rocket‐triggered lightning [PDF]
AbstractUsing a high speed optical imaging system operated at a time resolution of either 10 ns or 100 ns, we have documented the initiation process of 14 return strokes in four rocket‐triggered lightning flashes. Of the 14 strokes, nine occurred following dart leaders and five following dart‐stepped leaders. The return strokes are found to initiate at

Measurements of x‐ray emission from rocket‐triggered lightning [PDF]
We report measurements of the x‐ray emission from rocket‐triggered lightning, made during the summer of 2003, using four instruments placed between 15 and 40 m from the lightning channels. X‐rays were measured 0–80 μs just prior to and at the beginning of 73% of the 26 return strokes observed. The emission was composed of multiple, very brief bursts of

Wave Profile for Breakdown Waves with a Large Current Behind the Wave Front [PDF]
For analytical solution of breakdown waves with a large current behind the wave front, we employ a one-dimensional, steady-state, three-component (electrons, ions, and neutral particles) fluid model.

The negative dart leader-return-stroke process, accompanied by broadband electromagnetic radiation and high-energy emissions, represents a key focus in lightning physics. During the summer of 2023, collaborative observations of rocket-triggered lightning

Initial stage in lightning initiated from tall objects and in rocket‐triggered lightning [PDF]
We examine the characteristics of the initial stage (IS) in object‐initiated lightning derived from current measurements on the Gaisberg tower (100 m, Austria), the Peissenberg tower (160 m, Germany), and the Fukui chimney (200 m, Japan) and their counterparts in rocket‐triggered lightning in Florida.
