Cutoff and Emergence of Dart Leaders in an Unbranched Positive Leader Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Channel cutoff is the process by which an active lightning channel cools down, goes dark, and loses its ability to effectively conduct electricity. Current cutoff precedes several lightning phenomena, notably dart leaders and return strokes, but the process by which a hot, highly‐conducting leader channel can undergo current cutoff is poorly ...

Differences in M‐components between triggered lightning striking the ground and overhead line

High Voltage
In the summer of 2018–2019, rocket‐triggered lightning experiments were conducted in Guangzhou, China. There were two types of lightning targets: ground and overhead line.

The spatial variations of lightning during small Florida thunderstorms [PDF]

Networks of field mills (FM's) and lightning direction finders (LDF's) were used to locate lightning over the NASA KSC on three storm days. Over 90 percent of all cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes that were detected by the LDF's in the study area were also ...

Observation of an energetic radiation burst from mountain-top thunderclouds

, 2009
During thunderstorms on 2008 September 20, a simultaneous detection of gamma rays and electrons was made at a mountain observatory in Japan located 2770 m above sea level. Both emissions, lasting 90 seconds, were associated with thunderclouds rather than

A survey of laser lightning rod techniques [PDF]

The work done to create a laser lightning rod (LLR) is discussed. Some ongoing research which has the potential for achieving an operational laser lightning rod for use in the protection of missile launch sites, launch vehicles, and other property is ...

Lightning Return-Stroke Current Waveforms Aloft, from Measured Field Change, Current, and Channel Geometry [PDF]

, 2006
Three-dimensional reconstructions of six rocket-triggered lightning channels are derived from stereo photographs. These reconstructed channels are used to infer the behavior of the current in return strokes above the ground from current waveforms ...
