Herramienta computacional para la caracterización de señales de campo eléctrico generadas por pulsos bipolares angostos asociados a rayos intranube.

Abstract

This monograph describes the design, development and validation of the HMS_NPBs computational tool (NBPs Signal Manipulation Tool) which allows to quickly identify the electric field waveforms produced by NBPs and subsequently carry out their characterization. Additionally, it incorporates complementary functions that allow a detailed inspection of electric field records to identify other events associated with cloud-to-ground or intracloud lightning, as well as other transient electromagnetic disturbances. In this way, the treatment and processing times of signals associated with the lightning phenomenon are considerably reduced, which, in general, are carried out manually. In the final stage of this degree work, and as part of the validation process of the tool, the identification and characterization of NBPs signals was carried out from a record bank.
