[资源] Lightning: Principles, Instruments and Applications

By Hans Dieter Betz, Ulrich Schumann, Pierre Laroche Publisher:   Springer Number Of Pages:   656 Publication Date:   2008-12-01 ISBN-10 / ASIN:   1402090781 ISBN-13 / EAN:   9781402090783 Binding:   Hardcover Lightning represents a natural phenomenon of historicinterest; due to its complex aspects research continues in manycountries and reveals amazing results. Lightning has been observedtraditionally because of the hazards causing both a number of humanvictims every year, and increasing damage to forests, buildings, powerlines, structures and electronic devices. A more recent focus ofattention relates to the potential impact of lightning on atmosphericchemistry and climate. In the present volume the most important currentquestions on Lightning are described and analyzed under manyexperimental and theoretical aspects, and each topic is presented byexperts in the field. Lightning detection techniques using ground-based andspace-borne methods are described, along with network engineering andmany statistical results. Understanding of the various processes duringflash occurrence is still a matter of research, such as initiatingeffects, development and propagation of leaders, and electricalneutralization by means of relatively large short-term and continuingcurrents in discharge channels. In this sense, contributions containresearch in atmospheric electricity regarding cloud physics andlightning, lightning physics, modeling of the electricity of storms,and lightning in relation with middle atmospheric events. Specialphenomena such as triggered lightning, and sprite observations arecovered. Also discussed are lightning-induced nitrogen oxides and theireffects on atmospheric chemistry and climate. Finally, severe weatherconditions are often related to lightning so that observations andnowcasting are scrutinized. http://www.namipan.com/d/Lightni ... da8ba430aecf712f903 [ Last edited by lihai0910 on 2008-12-14 at 18:20 ]
