An Extension of the Guided Wave M‐Component Model Taking Into Account the Presence of a Tall Strike Object

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

We present in this paper an extension of the guided-wave M-component model of Rakov et al. considering the presence of a vertically elevated strike object. The tall object is represented as a lossless, uniform transmission line. Expressions for the current ...

A Review of the Modeling Approaches for the Lightning M-Component Mode of Charge Transfer

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

This paper presents a review of lightning M-component models. M-component models are classified into two main categories: (i) the guided-wave M-component model and its extensions and (ii) nonlinear M-component models. Other models and assumptions, in which ...

Measurement and Modeling of Both Distant and Close Electric Fields of an M‐Component in Rocket‐Triggered Lightning

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

Simultaneous measurements of current and multiple‐station electric fields associated with a 5.4‐kA‐peak M‐component in rocket‐triggered lightning are presented in this study. A close‐range electric field measurement site was located northeast of the trigge ...

Importance of Taking Into Account the Soil Stratification in Reproducing the Late-Time Features of Distant Fields Radiated by Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

In this paper, we present an analysis of the propagation effect along a lossy ground on the characteristics of lightning-generated electric fields, using simultaneous observations of lightning currents and radiated fields measured at nine different distanc ...

Multiple-Station Measurements of a Return-Stroke Electric Field From Rocket-Triggered Lightning at Distances of 68-126 km

Antonio Sunjerga, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

Far-field measurements of lightning-produced electromagnetic fields are of high importance for lightning location systems. Data from recorded lightning strokes can be, for example, used to assess the risk of lightning-induced damage in some geographical ar ...
