DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2019.04.001
Abstract: Abstract The spectra of cloud-to-ground lightning return strokes channels are obtained by a slit-less high-speed spectrograph. Based on the positive correlation between discharge current and the intensity of ionic lines in the spectra, variation characteristics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2019.2956685
Abstract: Natural cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning behaves differently over land and ocean. These differences likely reflect local variations in the speed at which storms develop over ocean, and are possibly contributed to by differences in the local… read more here.
