Catalog of Absolutely Calibrated, Range Normalized, Wideband, Electric Field Waveforms from Triggered Lightning Flashes in Florida

Abstract

During the summer of 1987, a rocket-triggered-lightning program was conducted at the NASA Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The rocket triggering was performed from two trigger platforms - one over water and the other over land. The propagation paths from the two sites were almost entirely over brackish water. This report presents waveform plots of the electric-field time derivative, the electric field, and the high-frequency spectral density at 5 MHz.
