Overview of Recent Progress in Lightning Research and Lightning Protection (2009, methodology): “enhancement and reduction) of lightning electric and magnetic fields by a tall strike object was also discussed by Rakov [3], Baba and Rakov [53], Miyazaki and Ishii [58], Kordi et al.”
Current and electromagnetic field associated with lightning-return strokes to tall towers (2001, background): “Experimental observations and theoretical investigations have shown that the presence of an elevated strike object, such as a tall tower, could affect substantially lightning currents and their radiated electromagnetic fields (e.g., [4]‐[ 14 ]).”
Effect of vertically extended strike object on the distribution of current along the lightning channel (2002, background): “[2] The interaction of lightning with tall strike objects has recently attracted considerable attention among lightning researchers [e.g., Beierl, 1992; Montandon and Beyeler, 1994; Guerrieri et al., 1998; Janischewskyj et al., 1996; Fuchs, 1998; Shostak et al., 1999b; Baba and Ishii, 2001; Rakov, 2”
