Synopsis
The purpose of this monograph is to review the known physical aspects of two unusual forms of atmospheric luminous phenomena, to deduce their characteristics and properties, and to promote efforts to improve their understanding. These two forms, called ball lightning and bead lightning, have visual images that differ from the linear image associated with normallightning. The terms "balliightning" and "bead lightning" are used to denote atmospheric luminous forms which are occasionally observed and have the geometrie shape suggested by their name. Vet, it is possible that neither phenomenon may in fact be a form of lightning in the sense of a continuous electrical discharge. Bead lightning has been described as the residue of a cloud-to cloud or cloud-to-ground lightning stroke and has the appearance of aseries of luminous balls separated by dark regions, thus resembling astring of pearls, and remains visible for about one second. Ball lightning has been described as a single luminous globe appearing ne ar the ground after a lightning stroke and also remaining visible for about one second. Both phenomena remain visible far longer than normal lightning flashes., The purpose of this monograph is to review the known physical aspects of two unusual forms of atmospheric luminous phenomena, to deduce their characteristics and properties, and to promote efforts to improve their understanding.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePackaging was very inadequate for a heavy ceramic sink. Less than 1/2 inch foam on bottom of the box. Top packaging material was placed haphazardly in box. Box was not strong enough for this type of item. It was box sink is sold in but should not be shipped in. I was a little suspect that item was broken before it was shipped. The one good thing was the quick refund of my money. It was just more of a waste of my time. Seller needs to learn proper packaging if they are going to ship fragile itemsReply from: hazel.online- Feedback replied by seller hazel.online.- Feedback replied by seller hazel.online.A very unfair feedback, we have no control of the way UPS handle the packages, Package was sent in the manufactured box very secure and we immediately full refund the buyer. Buyer needs to learn that is not a perfect world and things like this happen all the time.
