Lightning Spectroscopy–Photographic Techniques

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Some spectroscopic studies of lightning from 1901 to the present are reviewed, with special emphasis on slitless techniques—time-integrated and time-resolved. Some of the best examples of the authors’ time-integrated spectra are reproduced to display and identify emission and absorption features from 3000 Å to almost 9000 Å on a nearly uniform scale approximating 20 Å/mm. Time-resolved spectra in the visible region are reproduced in the range of milliseconds for a continuing-current luminosity, and microseconds for a return stroke and a stepped leader.
