Presenting the current state of the art in lightning science, this book provides a focused set of topics suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate students on a single-semester course. Pedagogical features designed to facilitate class learning include chapter summaries, further reading suggestions, questions and problems, and a glossary.
Dedication; Preface; 1. Types of lightning discharges and lightning terminology; 2. Incidence of lightning to areas and structures; 3. Electrical structure of thunderclouds; 4. Properties of the downward negative lightning discharge to ground; 5. Calculation of lightning electromagnetic fields; 6. Modeling of lightning processes; 7. Measurement of lightning electric and magnetic fields; 8. Electromagnetic methods of lightning location; 9. Lightning damaging effects and protective techniques; Appendix 1. How is lightning initiated in thunderclouds?; Appendix 2. Reconstruction of sources from measured electrostatic field changes; Appendix 3. Derivation of exact equations for computing lightning electric and magnetic fields; Appendix 4. Compact intracloud discharges (CIDs); Appendix 5. Is it true that lightning never strikes the same place twice?; Appendix 6. Is it possible to use lightning as an energy source?; Appendix 7. Lightning safety; Appendix 8. Lightning makes glass; Appendix 9. Bibliography on triggered lightning experiments and natural lightning observations at Camp Blanding, Florida (1995-2014); Glossary; References; Index.
