Continued Study of Various Properties of Natural and Triggered Lightning Discharges

这是一项在佛罗里达盖恩斯维尔和布兰丁营的实验室对自然和人工触发闪电进行的观测和实验研究。 将开展五个项目：1。闪电附近电磁场的研究.雷电能量平衡分析.上升闪电初始阶段的特征.分析和建模过去的数据。5.记录和研究闪电附着过程，其结果将促进对闪电物理学的理解，并对云的物理和化学以及闪电与高层大气的相互作用产生影响。 此外，这项工作还提供了有效缓解闪电所需的信息，并通过大众报刊和电视提高公众对闪电危害的认识。

This is an observational and experimental study of natural and artificially triggered lightning at laboratories in Gainesville and Camp Blanding, Florida. Five projects will be carried out:1. Study of the electromagnetic field close to lightning.2. Analysis of the lightning energy balance.3. Characterization of the initial stage of upward lightning.4. Analysis and modeling of past data. 5. Documentation and study of the lightning attachment process.Results will advance the understanding of lightning physics and have implications for the physics and chemistry of clouds and the interaction of lightning with the upper atmosphere. In addition, the work provides information needed for effective lightning mitigation and contributes through the popular press and television to public awareness of lightning hazards.
