Relativistic Doppler effect in an extending transmission line: Application to lightning

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory

We present in this paper a thorough analysis of current wave propagation with arbitrary speed along an extending transmission line. We derive rigorous analytical equations in the time and frequency domains expressing the reflections of the current wave occ ...

Preliminary Comparison of Data from the Säntis Tower and the EUCLID Lightning Location System

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abraham Rubinstein, Carlo Alberto Nucci, Mario Paolone, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero, Wolfgang Schulz

In this paper, direct lightning current measurements obtained on the Sntis Tower from June 1st, 2010 to May 31st, 2011 are used to evaluate the ability of the EUCLID lightning detection network to detect this type of lightning triggered by a tall tower in ...

On the accuracy of approximate techniques for the evaluation of lightning electromagnetic fields along a mixed propagation path

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abdenabi Mimouni, Abdolhamid Shoory

In this paper we review simplified analytical expressions derived by Wait using the concept of attenuation function for the analysis of the propagation of lightning-radiated electromagnetic fields over a mixed propagation path (vertically stratified ground ...

On the proportion of upward flashes to lightning research towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Aleksandr Smorgonskii, Wolfgang Schulz

We compare in this paper direct measurements obtained at the Towers on Mount San Salvatore (Switzerland) and the Gaisberg Tower (Austria). They are situated in similar topographical environments but in different lightning activity zones. Direct measurement ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields at Very Close Distances Associated with Lightning Strikes to the Gaisberg Tower

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Pierre Zweiacker, Davide Pavanello, Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi, Abdolhamid Shoory

In this paper we present and discuss measurements of electric (vertical and radial) and magnetic fields from leaders and return strokes associated with lightning strikes to the 100 m tall Gaisberg tower in Austria obtained in 2007 and 2008. The fields were ...

Benford's Law and Its Application to Lightning Data

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Pooyan Manoochehrnia, Wolfgang Schulz

Benford's law applies to a wide variety of natural and man-made datasets and it has been successfully applied to test the integrity of data and to detect possible fraud and anomalous results in economy, politics, and management studies. In this paper, we i ...
