Abstract: A Monte Carlo method has been used to simulate the transport of visible (0.45 ?m) and near-infrared (0.87 ?m) photons which are produced by transient light sources, such as lightning, within cubic, spherical and cylindrical ...

Abstract: A prime objective of the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification experiment was to Study the electrification of Florida thunderstorms in greater depth using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration/United ...

Abstract: Extensive networks of magnetic direction-finding (DF) stations have been installed throughout the western United States and Alaska to facilitate early detection of lightning-caused fires. Each station contains a new wideband ...

Abstract: The principle of operation of a wideband crossed-loop magnetic-field direction finder is studied by comparing the bearing determined from the NS and EW magnetic fields at various times up to 155 ?s after return stroke ...

Abstract: A ?dimensional reduction? (?DR?) method is introduced for analyzing lightning field changes (?Es) whereby the number of unknowns in a discrete two-charge model is reduced from the standard eight (x, y, z, Q, x?, y?, z?, ...

Abstract: In the fall of 1992 a lightning direction finder network was deployed in the western Pacific Ocean in the area of Papua New Guinea. Direction finders were installed on Kapingamarangi Atoll and near the towns of Rabaul and ...

Abstract: Two approaches are used to characterize how accurately the north Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) is able to locate lightning VHF sources in space and time. The first method uses a Monte Carlo computer simulation to ...
