Abstract

Lightning generated electric field over land and sea at Northern Region of Peninsular Malaysia: Measuring Setup

Highlights

  • Lightning is the transfer of significant charge between two charged objects, it can appear between cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-air and cloud-to-ground

  • All lightning activities are correlated with charge movement and it can be studied using measurement of electrostatic field, radiation field and magnetic field affiliated with charge movement

  • This measurement setup is often used to perform electric field characterization related to different lightning events such as preliminary breakdown, stepped leader, return stroke, subsequent return stroke, dart leader, dart-stepped leader, narrow bipolar pulses and cloud activity between strokes, such as regular pulse trains, K and M changes and chaotic pulse trains

Summary

Introduction

Lightning is the transfer of significant charge between two charged objects, it can appear between cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-air and cloud-to-ground. All lightning activities are correlated with charge movement and it can be studied using measurement of electrostatic field (slow field changes), radiation field (fast field changes) and magnetic field affiliated with charge movement. This measurement setup is often used to perform electric field characterization related to different lightning events such as preliminary breakdown, stepped leader, return stroke, subsequent return stroke, dart leader, dart-stepped leader, narrow bipolar pulses and cloud activity between strokes, such as regular pulse trains, K and M changes and chaotic pulse trains
