This review paper, prepared for this second special issue on lightning of the IEEE
Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, summarizes major publications on lightning …

In this paper, we present the characteristics of current, electric fields and modeling
approaches of lightning M-component mode of charge transfer. We consider both the …

We have analyzed parameters of 457 upward-initiated negative lightning flashes to the
Gaisberg tower (GBT) in Austria recorded from 2000 to 2007. Lightning to the radio tower of …

We report on upward lightning observations from ten tall towers (91–191 m) in Rapid City,
South Dakota, USA and compare with National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) data. A …

Current, luminosity, and electric field pulses in a rocket‐triggered negative lightning flash
have been analyzed based on the channel base current, high‐speed video images, and …

The performance characteristics of the US National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN)
were evaluated using rocket‐triggered lightning data, acquired in the summers of 2001 …

We have observed lightning that struck a wind turbine and its neighboring lightning-
protection tower during the past six winter seasons (2005 to 2010) using various lightning …

We analyzed high‐speed video images and corresponding current records for eight upward
lightning flashes initiated by the Peissenberg tower (160 m) in Germany. These flashes …

Various parameters of lightning discharges will be reviewed. Both common negative and
less frequent but potentially more destructive positive and bipolar flashes will be covered …

One hundred high‐speed video recordings (72 cases in Brazil and 28 cases in USA) of
negative upward lightning flashes were analyzed. All upward flashes were triggered by …
