Lightning initiation: Strong pulses of VHF radiation accompany preliminary breakdown [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
We analyze lightning initiation process using magnetic field waveforms of preliminary breakdown (PB) pulses observed at time scales of a few tens of microseconds by a broad-band receiver.

Time domain simulations of preliminary breakdown pulses in natural lightning. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Geophys Res Atmos, 2015
Lightning discharge is a complicated process with relevant physical scales spanning many orders of magnitude. In an effort to understand the electrodynamics of lightning and connect physical properties of the channel to observed behavior, we construct a ...

Karakteristik Preliminary Breakdown Petir Downward Leader Sebelum Sambaran Negatif Pertama

open access: yesJurnal Nasional Teknik Elektro, 2014
A hundred lightning flash was observed in Padang city, West Sumatera at January until Mei 2013. The lightning that use to analyze is proceeding with preliminary breakdown pulse (PBP) train and followed by first negative return stroke (RS).

Locating Preliminary Breakdown Pulses in Positive Cloud‐to‐Ground Lightning [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2018
This paper provides the first concrete evidence that preliminary breakdown (PB) pulses of either polarity in positive cloud‐to‐ground (+CG) lightning are produced by negative leaders.

A Frontal Thunderstorm With Several Multi‐Cell Lines Found to Produce Energetic Preliminary Breakdown

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022
We combine electromagnetic measurements with meteorological and lightning detection data to explain an observation of unusually strong preliminary breakdown (PB) produced by a thunderstorm system that developed along the Mediterranean Coast of Southern ...

Characterization preliminary breakdown in the measured lightning electric fields [PDF]

open access: yes2014 IEEE 8th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO2014), 2014
In this study, characterization of measured electric fields due to lightning channel was done. Likewise, previous studies on this case were reviewed and discussed accordingly. Furthermore, preliminary breakdown was done in detail and it was indicated on the real measured electric fields and the results were discussed.

A Study of Preliminary Breakdown and Return Stroke Processes in High-Intensity Negative Lightning Discharges

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2016
Using an automated data processing algorithm, we examined electric field records of 5498 negative cloud-to-ground flashes reported by the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) within 50 to 500 km of the Lightning Observatory in Gainesville ...

Characteristics of the Preliminary Breakdown in Inverted-polarity Intracloud Lightning Flashes

open access: yes应用气象学报, 2023
The intracloud (IC) flashes can be classified into normal and inverted-polarity types according to their initial leader propagation directions. Due to the rare occurrence of inverted-polarity IC flashes with downward preliminary breakdown (PB) processes,

Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Preliminary Breakdown Pulses in Intracloud Lightning Flashes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019
We have studied the temporal and spatial characteristics of preliminary breakdown (PB) pulses in 32 normal intracloud flashes recorded by a fast antenna lightning mapping array system called Fast Antenna Lightning Mapping Array.
