According to theory, once certain conditions are fulfilled, current and voltage pulses propagate along ideal transmission lines with the speed of light. One can reach such a conclusion only when the conductors are assumed to be perfectly conducting, which ...
Dealing with lightning performance computation, researchers usually consider only negative downward first return strokes and the relevant channel-base peak current distribution. The aim of this article is to account for the lightning flash mechanism, which ...
The time-reversal invariance is readily described and universally embodied in most laws of nature, either in a strict or in a soft sense. Based on this underlying physical principle, time-reversal theory has been theoretically and experimentally studied in ...
We describe a current propagation type return stroke model which is consistent with the estimated distribution of the charge on the leader channel. The model takes into account the dispersion of the return stroke current along the return stroke channel. Th ...
Recently, a simple and efficient method was proposed to take into account non-vertical risers for transmission lines excited by external fields. In this paper, the proposed method is used to investigate the effect of non-vertical risers on lightning-induce ...

In positive lightning return strokes, the net momentum transported by the radiation field has the same direction as the momentum associated with electrons, whereas the momentum associated with electrons is in opposite direction to the momentum of radiation ...
This work presents a characterisation of mesocyclone occurrence and frequency in the Alpine region, as observed from the Swiss operational radar network; 5 years of radar data are processed with a thunderstorm detection and tracking algorithm and subsequen ...
This paper is to investigate the pattern distortion that happens in the extremely low incidence angle for a flat TM-polarized half Luneburg lens antenna (HLLA) by using a purely reactive impedance surface (RIS). For the scenario of a radar mounted on an un ...
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 ...
