12/7/2018 Correct E and B field expressions

Here is a reference that has the correct expressions for the E and B fields radiated by a
vertical lightning channel above a flat perfectly conducting ground surface: Thottappillil,
R., V.A. Rakov, and M.A. Uman, "Distribution of charge along the lightning channel:
Relation to remote electric and magnetic fields and to return stroke models," J. Geophys.
Res., 102, 6987-7006, 1997.

A figure showing the channel geometry and defining some of the variables is shown
below.
