Comparison of the Electromagnetic Properties of Lightning and EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) -- Results of Recent Lightning Studies.

Abstract

This report presents the results of the first phase of a program conducted by SRI International in an effort to address and resolve issues concerning the comparative interactions of lightning and EMP with aircraft. The program concentrated on using recently generated analytical and experimental data and interacting with lightning workers in an effort to define the current state of knowledge regarding the electromagnetic properties of lightning. This program was motivated by suggestions that there might be sufficient similarity between the effects of lightning and EMP that consideration of the electromagnetic effects of one would also suffice for the other.
