Evaluation of Lightning Current and Return Stroke Velocity Using Measured Far Electric Field Above a Horizontally Stratified Ground

This paper proposed an inverse procedure for evaluating the channel-base current and return stroke velocity using measured far electric fields over a two-layer horizontally stratified ground, where the lightning current along lightning channel adopt the modified transmission line model with linear current decaying with height (MTLL) model. Moreover, the proposed method has been validated using two...
