High-speed video observations of rocket-and-wire initiated lightning
[1] We present observations of a rocket-and-wire triggered lightning flash obtained with high-speed video cameras recording 5400 and 50000 frames per second (frame times 185 ms and 20 ms) with time-synchronized current and electric field measurements. Transient leader channels were observed with precursor current pulses occurring before the development of the sustained upward positive leader th...
متن کاملHigh‐speed video observations of a lightning stepped leader
[1] High‐speed video images of eight branches of a lightning stepped leader recorded at a frame rate of 300 kiloframes per second (kfps) (3.33 ms exposure) are analyzed, representing the fastest published frame rate measurements of stepped leader stepping by about 1 order of magnitude and the first observations of space stems/leaders associated with stepped leaders. Sixteen occurrences of space...
متن کاملComparing high-speed video and Lightning Mapping Array observations to investigate the influence of ground strikes on lightning flash characteristics
This study presents exploratory observations for a set of 28 cloud-to-ground flashes recorded on highspeed video, each with a time resolution of 10,000 frames per second. The high time resolution, along with precise GPS timing, allows a detailed comparison of the videos with corresponding data from the Oklahoma Lightning Mapping Array (LMA). The LMA detects VHF radiation sources throughout the ...

متن کاملInitiation and propagation of cloud-to-ground lightning observed with a high-speed video camera
Complete evolution of a lightning discharge, from its initiation at an altitude of about 4 km to its ground attachment, was optically observed for the first time at the Lightning Observatory in Gainesville, Florida. The discharge developed during the late stage of a cloud flash and was initiated in a decayed branch of the latter. The initial channel section was intermittently illuminated for ov...
