January 2018
|Soundings

Marine surveyors in Florida, for instance, have far more strikes to inspect than those in the Northeast, since thunderstorm activity is much higher in the South. The science of strikes has given us ways to minimize damage and keep people on board safe, but as materials change and science evolves, the technology will keep changing, too.
