      This work presents the development of an inductive current sensor for measuring pulsating corona discharges observed under high background electric field. Laboratory and field experiments in different setups are used to ...
    • Multi-stroke positive cloud-to-ground lightning sharing the same channel observed with a VHF broadband interferometer 

      Urbani, Michele; Montañá Puig, Juan; Van der Velde, Oscar Arnoud; Sousa Arcanjo, Marcelo Augusto; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto (2022-04-15)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In the same lightning flash, whose usual duration is less than a second, there can be multiple negative cloud-to-ground strokes with different terminations or following a preexisting channel to the ground. In contrast, it ...
    • New era of lightning detection from space: application to electric power systems 

      Montañá Puig, Juan; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto; Van der Velde, Oscar Arnoud; Solà de las Fuentes, Glòria; Romero Durán, David; Morales Rodríguez, Carlos Augusto; Visacro, Silverio; Goodman, Steven J.; Williams, Earle Rolfe; Peterson, Michael J.; Pineda Rüegg, Nicolau; Sousa Arcanjo, Marcelo Augusto; Aranguren Fino, Harby Daniel (2021)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Information about lightning activity and its parameters is necessary to design and evaluate the lightning protection of an electrical power system. This information can be obtained from ground-based lightning detection ...
    • Observations of corona point discharges from grounded rods under thunderstorms

      Article
      Accés obert
      We investigated features of corona point discharges when a grounded conductive rod is subject to a high background electric field. In the laboratory, high voltage is applied to an upper plate in a plane-to-point experiment, ...
    • Optical signatures associated with streamers and leaders of laboratory discharges

      Article
      Accés obert
      This work investigates the strongest optical emissions associated with long laboratory sparks (at the wavelengths of 337 nm and 777 nm) with the aim to understand similar emissions in lightning. The processes of the ...
