“…Lightning characteristics had been studied in Beijing, Tibet Plateau, and Guangdong [Chen et al, 2004;Qie et al, 1991Qie et al, , 2002. Both natural lightning and artificial-triggered lightning had been used to study the physical processes of lightning and electric charge structure of thunderstorm [Lü et al, 2012;Qie et al, 2006Qie et al, , 2009Zhang et al, 2014]. However, observation-based investigation of lightning activities and characteristics for the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region and other regions in China has not been performed.…”

Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning characteristic parameters deduced from the lightning location system (LLS) for five differing microenvironmental areas relative to megacity, city, municipal town, hilly suburban area, and mountainous rural area conditions were examined in our 2009-2011 Pearl River Delta (PRD) study. Our LLS data analysis showed that there were high variation of lightning characteristics and phenomenal changes among these areas. As a supplement to the usual study of physical characteristics, an observation-based methodology had been developed to study the lightning behavior, while the respective thunderstorms were traversing through these observation areas. Special features and phenomenal changes related to the lightning characteristic parameters, such as observable lightning stroke days (OLSDs) and observable lightning stroke frequency and density for an OLSD, were also addressed. Microenvironmental variation due to change in topography, degree of urbanization, urban effect, and thunderstorm strength was found to affect the spatial distribution of lightning stroke and the severity of lightning activities over the observation areas. This approach increases our understanding of lightning in subtropical China. It also tells us more about the behavior of lightning while the thunderstorm traverses through an observation area. This information is lacking in previous studies.

Abstract-A comprehensive review has been done on the types of electromagnetic transients that may affect low voltage electrical systems. The paper discusses various characteristics of lightning, switching, nuclear and intentional microwave impulses giving special attention to their impact on equipment and systems. The analysis shows that transients have a wide range of rise time, half peak width, action integral etc. with respect to both source and coupling mechanism. Hence, transient protection technology should be more specific with regard to the capabilities of the protection devices. Furthermore, we discuss the components and techniques available for the protection of low voltage systems from lightning generated electrical transients and the adequacy of International Standards in addressing the transient protection issues. The outcome of our analysis questions the suitability of 8/20 µs test current impulse in representing characteristics such as the time derivative and the energy content of lightning impulses. The 10/350 µs test current impulse better represents the integrated effects of the energy content of impulse component and long continuing current. A new waveform is required to be specified for testing the ability of protective devices to respond to the fast leading edges of subsequent strokes that may appear 100 s of millisecond after the preceding stroke. The test voltage waveform

“…Expressions relating radiated fields and return stroke channel base currents have been derived for various "engineering" return stroke models (Rakov and Uman, 1998 ). Based on the transmission line (TL) model, for an observation point at ground level, the radiated (far) electric and magnetic fields produced by a vertical lightning channel terminated directly at ground are simply proportional to the channel base current (Uman et al, 1975;Qie et al, 2007Qie et al, , 2009Qie et al, , 2011Yang et al, 2010), with the proportionality coefficient being determined for strike to flat ground with the perfect conductivity.…”
