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

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

Time domain simulations of preliminary breakdown pulses in natural lightning [PDF]
AbstractLightning 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 simulation of charge and current flow on a narrow conducting channel embedded in three ...

Characteristics of the Preliminary Breakdown in Inverted-polarity Intracloud Lightning Flashes
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]
AbstractWe 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. It was found that PB processes started with a stage of preliminary isolated pulses (PIPs) and followed by classic PB ...

Characterization Preliminary Breakdown in the Measured Lightning Electric Fields on Malaysia Data [PDF]
This paper presents a characteristic of lightning electric fields. The lightning electric fields were captured by two parallel plats sensor and the characterization for preliminary breakdown pulse (PBP) was studied. A total of 207 data were recorded and 10 data are selected and been utilized in this paper accordingly.
