“…Time‐dependent maps of E3 EMP geoelectric fields can, in principle, be obtained by convolving a model of bomb‐generated geomagnetic disturbance with estimates of the Earth‐surface impedance tensor field. In developing such maps, numerical methods pioneered in the 1980s by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have been widely influential (Barnes, Rizy, et al., 1993; Legro et al., 1985, 1986). ORNL's methods have been used in numerous E3 scenario mapping projects across the conterminous United States (CONUS) (e.g., Electric Power Research Institute, 2017; Electromagnetic Pulse Commission, 2017; Gilbert et al., 2010; International Electrotechnical Commission, 1996; Lee et al., 2019; Rackliffe et al., 1988; Tesche et al., 1991), and these maps have been used in projects for assessing the vulnerability of power grids to the E3 hazard (e.g., Barnes, Tesche, et al., 1993; Electric Power Research Institute, 2019; Electromagnetic Pulse Commission, 2017; Tesche et al., 1991).…”
