Abstract:Results are given of observations of lightning currents, voltages, and charges in a buried cable over most of three lightning seasons. These are compared with theoretical expectations. Data regarding the incidence of lightning strokes to ground, as observed with automatic recording equipment, are also reported, together with comparisons with similar data published previously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
