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 ...
2024Laser-guided lightning
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jean-Pierre Wolf, Clemens Herkommer, Pierre Walch, Thomas Produit, Victor Moreno
Lightning discharges between charged clouds and the Earth’s surface are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore important to develop better protection methods in addition to the traditional Franklin rod. Here we present the fir ...
2023Augmenting 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. ...
