Wave Profile for Anti-force Waves with Maximum Possible Currents [PDF]
, 2015 In the theoretical investigation of the electrical breakdown of a gas, we apply a one-dimensional, steady state, constant velocity, three component fluid model and consider the electrons to be the main element in propagation of the wave. The electron gas

Analysis of the first gigantic jet recorded over continental North America [PDF]
, 2007 [1] Two low-light cameras near Marfa, Texas, recorded a gigantic jet over northern Mexico on 13 May 2005 at approximately 0423:50 UTC. Assuming that the farthest of two candidate storm systems was its source, the bright lower channel ended in a fork at ...

Monte Carlo simulations of air showers in atmospheric electric fields [PDF]
, 2009 The development of cosmic ray air showers can be influenced by atmospheric electric fields. Under fair weather conditions these fields are small, but the strong fields inside thunderstorms can have a significant effect on the electromagnetic component of
