Editorial

Editorial – Advances in lightning research

This is the part I of a special issue dedicated to lightning re-
search, consisting of papers presented at the 32nd International
Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), held in Shanghai, China,
in 2014, and several contributions invited by the guest editors to
complement the subject matter of the papers selected from the
ICLP. The papers from the ICLP were selected by the session
chairmen of the ICLP and passed through the rigorous review
process of the Journal of Solar Terrestrial and Atmospheric Physics
(JASTP). The papers presented in this special issue contain subject
matter pertinent to all aspects of lightning research both theore-
tical and experimental.
The guest editors thank the chairmen of all sessions in ICLP
which dealt with physics of lightning for their help in selecting
papers to this special issue and numerous reviewers who spend
their valuable time in reviewing the papers to make sure that they
adhere to the standard of the JASTP. The guest editors also thank
the editor in chief of JASTP, Prof. R.J. Strangeway for his valuable
advice in organizing this issue.
