Channel branching and zigzagging in negative cloud-to-ground lightning. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractA fundamental question in lightning flash concerns why the discharge channel propagates in a zig-zag manner and produces extensive branches. Here we report the optical observation of two negative cloud-to-ground lightning discharges with very high temporal resolution of 180,000 frames per second, which shows in detail the dependence of channel ...

A Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Climatology for Romania [PDF]
Monthly Weather Review, 2010 Abstract The first study of the characteristics of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning in Romania, based on the data recorded by the Romanian National Lightning Detection Network (RNLDN), is presented. The data, more than 1.75 million CG flashes, covers the entirety of Romania and were recorded between January 2003 and December 2005 and ...
