Lightning Strikes Upward
О овој е-књизи
This book sheds light on how these human-made structures can initiate lightning strikes, challenging our conventional understanding of how lightning typically behaves.
Intriguingly, upward lightning, while less frequent than its downward counterpart, presents unique risks due to its unpredictable nature and the potential damage it can inflict on critical infrastructure.
The book progresses from foundational concepts of atmospheric electricity to the specific mechanisms behind upward lightning, differentiating it from downward strikes through comparative analysis and real-world case studies.
It highlights the sophisticated tools used to study these events, such as high-speed cameras and lightning detection networks, and emphasizes applications in risk assessment and structural design.
By connecting atmospheric science with structural engineering and meteorology, Lightning Strikes Upward provides valuable insights for professionals and enthusiasts alike, emphasizing the importance of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with this fascinating phenomenon.
