 Recent research of Lightning can be divided in several directions. One of them is developing a network for lightning detection. That kind of network is established in lot of developed countries. It consists of sensors sensitive for changes of electric and magnetic field caused by lightning. Those sensors are connected and using them it is possible to observe the large area from one place. There are different applications of that network. One of them is to observe the area and developing thunderstorms to assure that neccesary measures (in electroenergetics, traffic etc.) can be taken on time. Using that network we can collect precise information about distribution of number of lightning strikes on some area annualy and that is valuable information for designing lightning protection. The other important direction of research is that scientists are still trying to record all phenomena that occurs during the lightning and to describe them mathematically. In that efforts they used experiments with "triggered lightning". That means that they provoked the lightning strike fireing a rocket grounded with thin wire. Usually lightning strikes the rocket or the wire and that gives a chance for scientists to make different kinds of measurements. |
