Lightning Initiation and Propagation
Abstract
The University of Florida (UF) and Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) completed an exploratory (seedling) program that examined the salient aspects of lightning initiation and propagation including the role of X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays in the initiation and propagation of lightning and in the phenomenology of thunderclouds. The experimental portion took place at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT) in north-central Florida.
