First Observations and Characteristics of Positive Upward Illumination Strokes
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract Upward Illumination (UI) strokes are a subtype of cloud‐to‐ground (CG) return strokes characterized by two concurrent branches striking the ground a few milliseconds apart. The luminous channel of an UI stroke does not connect to the main channel, which gives this phenomenon its name.
