Скачать или смотреть High Speed Video of Lightning by Tim Samaras

Remembering Tim Samaras. It is hard to believe, but it is already 5 years since the tragic loss of researcher Tim Samaras, his son, Paul, and colleague Carl Young in the El Reno tornado. While best known for his contributions to tornado research (and making the almost impossible measurement of the pressure drop inside a major tornado - about 100 mb!), Tim also had a passion for lightning. In fact, at the time of the accident, his Lightning Investigation Vehicle (LIV), a key part of our DARPA sprite research program, had only been in service for one week. Tim's contribution was high speed video of CGs, hopefully capturing a stroke that was also the parent of a sprite. This clip shows a sample of the excellent footage Tim had been capturing with his Phantom camera. But more importantly, Tim was simpy a wonderful person and a real gentlemen. He is still very much missed. See clip at:
