High-frequency response of a hemispherical grounding electrode
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga
The lightning discharge current is characterized by a high-frequency spectrum extending from DC to about 10 MHz. The calculation of the grounding impedance is one of the most important aspects of designing lightning protection systems. The search for analy ...
2024Lightning Localization Using Three-Dimensional Time Reversal MUltiple SIgnal Classification (TR-MUSIC) Algorithm
Marcos Rubinstein, Hamidreza Karami
In this paper a three-dimensional (3D) Time Reversal MUltiple SIgnal Classification (TR-MUSIC) algorithm is proposed to localize lightning discharges. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated considering different scenarios and taking into a ...
2023Could Macroscopic Dark Matter (Macros) Give Rise to Mini-Lightning Flashes out of a Blue Sky without Clouds?
A recent study pointed out that macroscopic dark matter (macros) traversing through the Earth’s atmosphere can give rise to hot and ionized channels similar to those associated with lightning leaders. The authors of the study investigated the possibility t ...
2021Augmenting the performance of impoverished sensor networks using machine learning and time reversal: Application to lightning nowcasting and location
Lightning is formed in the atmosphere through the combination of intricate dynamic and microphysical processes. Mainly due to this complexity, attempts to solve the important problem of lightning prediction have generally failed to yield accurate results. ...
