This new book provides a focused set of topics suitable for
advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on lightning. It
presents the current state of the art in lightning science
including areas such as lightning modeling, calculation of
lightning electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic methods of
lightning location, and lightning damaging effects and protective
techniques. Pedagogical features designed to facilitate class
learning include end-of-chapter summaries, further reading
suggestions, questions and problems, and a glossary explaining key
lightning and atmospheric electricity terms. A selection of
appendices are provided at the end of the book, which include
detailed derivations of exact equations for computing electric and
magnetic fields produced by lightning. Designed for a
single-semester course on lightning and its effects, and written in
a style accessible to technical non-experts, this book will also be
a useful, up-to-date reference for scientists, engineers and
practitioners who have to deal with lightning in their work.
