The 1985 and 1986 direct strike lightning data, part 1

Data waveforms are presented which were obtained during the 1985 and 1986 direct-strike lightning tests utilizing the NASA F-106B aircraft specially instrumented for lightning electromagnetic measurement. The aircraft was operated in the vicinity of the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, in a thunderstorm environment in order to elicit lightning strikes. Electromagnetic field data and conduction currents on the aircraft were recorded for lightning.
