An analysis of the initiation of upward flashes from tall towers with particular reference to Gaisberg and Säntis Towers

Marcos Rubinstein, Alaleh Tajalli

In this paper, we present an analysis of the lightning events preceding initiation of upward lightning flashes from the Gaisberg and the Santis Towers. It is found that the majority of upward lightning discharges from both towers are initiated without any ...

On the Location of Lightning Discharges Using Time Reversal of Electromagnetic Fields

Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra, Gaspard Lugrin

In this paper, we discuss the use of the electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) method to locate lightning strikes. After a brief description of the EMTR and its application to lightning location, we mathematically demonstrate that the time-of-arrival method ...

Electromagnetic Fields of a Lightning Return Stroke in Presence of a Stratified Ground

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdenabi Mimouni

We present an analysis of the nearby electromagnetic fields generated by lightning discharges in the presence of a horizontally stratified, two-layer ground. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the effect of ground stratification on underg ...

On the proportion of upward flashes to lightning research towers

Marcos Rubinstein, Wolfgang Schulz

We compare in this paper direct measurements obtained on the towers on San Salvatore Mountain (Switzerland) and on the Gaisberg Mountain (Austria). They are situated in similar topographical environments but in different lightning activity zones. Direct me ...

Compensation of the Instrumental Decay in Measured Lightning Electric Field Waveforms

Marcos Rubinstein, José-Luis Bermudez

The proper characterization of lightning electric and magnetic fields is very important for a number of reasons, such as the study and design of lightning protection and the validation of return stroke models. Also, an accurate late time response of the se ...

On the Mechanism of Current Pulse Propagation Along Conical Structures: Application to Tall Towers Struck by Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory, Keyhan Sheshyekani

We discuss in this paper the propagation of lightning current pulses along conical tall structures. Although the dominant mode of an infinitely long conical transmission line is transverse electric and magnetic (TEM), such a structure can also support high ...

Application of the time reversal of electromagnetic fields to locate lightning discharges

Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra

In this paper, we propose a new method for locating lightning discharges. The proposed method is based on the time reversal technique introduced for acoustics in the early 1990s. By analogy to the derivations in acoustics, equations for the focusing of ele ...
