Abstract [en]

In this paper it is shown how the finitelyconducting ground modifies the signature of the radiationfield of return strokes striking tall towers. Results arepresented for different tower heights and for differentground conductivities varying the current risetime in thereturn stroke model. The results show that the attenuationof the initial peak of the radiation field resulting from thepropagation over finitely conducting ground dependsstrongly on the current risetime, the tower height and theground conductivity. In general, the attenuation of theradiation field of lightning flashes striking tall towers islarger than that striking flat ground. In the case where theground conductivity is extremely poor, namely 0.0001 S/m,the attenuation of the peak radiation field may reach asmuch as 70% in the case of lightning flashes striking a 300-m tall tower.
