Overview of Recent Progress in Lightning Research and Lightning Protection
Vladimir A. Rakov,Farhad Rachidi +1 more
TL;DR: A review paper as mentioned in this paper summarizes major publications on lightning and lightning protection since the first special issue published in November 1998, i.e., during the last decade, and is organized in the following five sections: lightning discharge observations, lightning discharge-modeling, lightning occurrence characteristics/lightning locating systems, lightning electromagnetic pulse and lightning induced effects, and protection against lightning-induced effects.
The lightning striking distance—Revisited
TL;DR: In this article, Berger and Vogelsanger measured the first return stroke current waveforms at Monte San Salvatore from 1963 to 1971 to estimate the charge stored in the lightning stepped leader channel.
