Speaker

Martin Kákona

Description

In this speech, we will demonstrate the instrumentation used for measuring phenomena related to thunderstorms and discuss some important results from our measurements. Over the years dedicated to thunderstorm measurement, we have had to repeatedly revise our instrumentation as the characteristics of lightning proved significantly different from our initial assumptions. If logistics allow, I plan to transport the measuring vehicle by ferry to the conference venue, providing an opportunity to showcase the instruments firsthand. Regardless, I will present how lightning truly appears and how its representation varies across different devices.
