Magnetic Field Variations of Lightning
Abstract
The variations of the magnetic field from lightning discharges within the vicinity region, up to 20 km from the lightning paths, were investigated during the thunderstorm seasons of 1956-57 at four field stations outside Uppsala. A description of instrumental equipment, field stations, and investigation methods is given. The change in the magnetic field variation with the distance from the lightning path is discussed. A statistical analysis of front variations and time intervals between multiple strokes was carried out. The results were limited to available data for 1956. Different aspects of daylight photographs are discussed. A survey of the obtained research material and its treatment is presented for the contract period.
