Model calculations of lightning electric fieldsCalculated time-domain waveforms and frequency spectra are presented for three of the most important processes in a lightning discharge to ground: the return stroke, the stepped leader, and the preliminary breakdown. For each of these processes, the model calculations are given for 200 m and 50 km. The calculations are compared with available time and frequency domain measurements.
