268: Cakepan Interferometry

After many bouts of lightning round, we finally got our lightning questions answered by Eric Brunning (@deeplycloudy). Eric is a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas Tech University specializing in storm electrification and lightning .

You can hear some of Eric's field adventures by listening to his episode of the Don't Panic Geocast show.

The Wikipedia page for lightning will lead you down many strange pathways. Though the Wikipedia Lightning Energy Harvesting page may convince you that it isn't feasible (though some math might as well, as discussed on this show).

For more about lightning interferometry, check out Michael Stock's in-depth site.

You can hear lightning on Jupiter if you listen to the right bands.

Elecia really enjoyed The Cloudspotter's Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney.
