Abstract: Using video data recorded at 50,000 frames per second for nearby negative lightning flashes, estimates are derived for the length of positive upward connecting leaders (UCLs) that presumably formed prior to new ground attachments. Return… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The propagation characteristics of two upward negative lightning flashes, which were initiated from the tops of two tall grounded structures immediately after the return stroke (RS) initiation of one nearby positive cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning… read more here.

Abstract: A recent study pointed out that macroscopic dark matter (macros) traversing through the Earth’s atmosphere can give rise to hot and ionized channels similar to those associated with lightning leaders. The authors of the study… read more here.
