B-CS Guards Against Lightning Danger PDF Print E-mail

Dr. Richard Orville, professor of atmospheric sciences and one of the world’s foremost experts on lightning, was quoted extensively in an article in Sunday's (June 13) Bryan/College Station Eagle. In the wake of a recent lighting strike of a 16-year-old Bryan High student on a local golf course, the article examined lightning detection systems and where and how they are being used in the community. Orville has done extensive research in the physics of lightning and was instrumental in developing and implementing the National Lightning Detection Network.
