The laser lightning rod project

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jean-Pierre Wolf, Clemens Herkommer, Pierre Walch, Thomas Produit

Lightning is highly destructive due to its high power density and unpredictable character. Directing lightning away would allow to protect sensitive sites from its direct and indirect impacts (electromagnetic perturbations). Up to now, lasers have been una ...

A New Channel-Base Lightning Current Formula With Analytically Adjustable Parameters

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

The article provides a new channel-based current function, which aims at faithfully reproducing the salient parameters of lightning currents. All the model parameters can be set in a fully analytical way, guaranteeing the possibility of changing them (acco ...

Bidirectional Recoil Leaders in Upward Lightning Flashes Observed at the Säntis Tower

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Amirhossein Mostajabi

We report the observation of three negative upward flashes recorded by a high-speed camera at the Säntis Tower during the Summer of 2019. The camera was operating at 10,000 fps and an exposure time of 99 μs. Simultaneous measurements of the lightning curre ...

Incidence of Upward Lightning Triggered by Nearby Lightning: A Monte Carlo Simulation

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

Upward lightning is the dominant type of lightning discharge to tall structures. It has been observed that a significant number of these upward flashes are initiated by nearby lightning activity. The aim of this study is to estimate the incidence of upward ...

Numerical and Experimental Validation of Electromagnetic Time Reversal for Geolocation of Lightning Strikes

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Hamidreza Karami

We implement an electromagnetic time reversal technique (EMTR) to locate lightning return strokes. The two-dimensional finite difference time domain is employed to simulate the EMTR process in both, the forward-time and the backward-time phases. Scatterers ...

Machine Learning-Based Lightning Localization Algorithm Using Lightning-Induced Voltages on Transmission Lines

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Hamidreza Karami

In this article, we present a machine learning-based method to locate lightning flashes using calculations of lightning induced voltages on a transmission line. The proposed approach takes advantage of the preinstalled voltage measurement systems on power ...

Latitude and Topographical Dependence of Lightning Return Stroke Peak Current in Natural and Tower-Initiated Negative Ground Flashes

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Experimental data show that the peak currents of first and subsequent lightning return strokes in negative ground flashes increase with decreasing latitude. In this paper, the reason for this dependence of peak return stroke current on latitude is explaine ...

A LIGHTning Strike to the Metastatic Niche

Michele De Palma, Amaia Martinez Usatorre

Tumor-induced vascular alterations in distant organs have been linked to the spreading of cancer. In this issue of Cell Reports, He et al. (2019) show that targeting the cytokine LIGHT to the pulmonary vasculature prevents the establishment of lung metasta ...

EM Fields Generated by a Scale Model Helical Antenna and Its Use in Validating a Code for Lightning-Induced Voltage Calculation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This paper aims at validating a code for the evaluation of lightning-induced overvoltages developed in the PSCADEMTDC environment using experimental results obtained on an experimental facility deployed at the University of S˜ao Paulo, Brazil that emulates ...

Importance of Taking Into Account the Soil Stratification in Reproducing the Late-Time Features of Distant Fields Radiated by Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

In this paper, we present an analysis of the propagation effect along a lossy ground on the characteristics of lightning-generated electric fields, using simultaneous observations of lightning currents and radiated fields measured at nine different distanc ...

A New Engineering Model of Lightning M Component That Reproduces Its Electric Field Waveforms at Both Close and Far Distances

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Qi Li

We present a new engineering model for the M component mode of charge transfer to ground that can predict the observed electric field signatures associated with this process at various distances, including (a) the microsecond-scale pulse thought to be due ...

Meteorological conditions during self-initiated upward lightning at the Säntis tower (Switzerland)

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jacopo Grazioli, Nikola Besic

Meteorological conditions favoring the initiation of upward lightning from tall structures have been only poorly investigated so far. In addition to the scientific interest in this subject, it has practical applications to risk assessment for lightning occ ...
