Excellent reply! Do you have a URL to get copies?
Here are the references I used.
Rakov & Uman are leaders in the field of lightning and most lightning
conferences will have Rakov on the committee.

If I was asked if I had met a genius then Dr. Ron Standler would be my reply.
He was so far ahead of his time that his 1989 book still has lots of value
today. Recently I used the Standler cubic approximation for the 8/20 waveform
for an ITU-T contribution.
