  • Abstract
    The Säntis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 and, to this date, more than 400 flashes were successfully recorded. Lightning current waveforms and their time-derivatives are measured at two different heights along the tower (24-m and 82-m AGL). In this paper, we present a summary of the obtained experimental data.
