The initiation of lightning in thunderclouds: The possible influence of metastable nitrogen and oxygen molecules in initiating lightning streamers [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2015 AbstractAn examination is made of the possible role of metastable molecules of oxygen and nitrogen to contribute to the difference between the observed breakdown field in air of ~25 kV/cm and the electric fields observed in thunderclouds which generally have a maximum of ~3 kV/cm, which suggest much lower breakdown fields.

Lightning Impulse Ageing of HDPE
, 2009 This work is concerned with the hypothesis that lightning impulses can lead to accelerated ageing of extruded polymeric cables. The behaviour of an insulation material when suffering lightning impulses is different from that for DC or power frequency ...
