Measurement and Verification of Lightning Return-Stroke Velocities Samantha Tabor Matthew Jay Genesis Langum Mentor: Dr. Danyal Petersen

What Are We Investigating? We will be using a high speed camera and an avalanche photodiode array to estimate the two-dimensional velocity of lightning return strokes

How Will We Do This? Observations and data gathering via: – High speed camera – Avalanche photo diode array – Flat plate antenna (electric field) Data processing and viewing – Photron Fastcam Viewer 3 – Waveform viewing application (DF32) Avalanche Photo Diode High Speed CameraFlat Plate Antenna

How Will We Do This? Combine this with LMA data and possibly lightning detection network – Provides linear velocities of lightning return- strokes Compare velocities to past calculations

Why Is This Important? Inconsistent return-stroke velocity measurements Further understanding of lightning behavior – Aid in future scientific discoveries Direct implication for other projects – Ex. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) – Ex. Better engineering of strike-prone equipment

Our Goals Analyze as many return strokes as time permits Have at least one example of positively- charged lightning Provide useful data for further study
