Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Propagation of positive, negative, and recoil leaders in upward lightning flashes
Leader propagation is a fundamental issue in lightning physics. The propagation characteristics of positive leaders and negative leaders are summarized and compared based on data from high-speed camera and electromagnetic field in rocket-triggered ...

On the classification of self-triggered versus other-triggered lightning flashes [PDF]
We present in this paper lightning current measurements and LMA (Lightning Mapping Array) data associated with upward flashes observed at the Sàntis Tower during Summer 2017.

Channel current is an important parameter of the lightning discharge, but it's difficult to be directly measured due to the randomness and instantaneity of the natural lightning. The channel luminosity, however, is relatively easier to obtain.

Wave Profile for Anti-force Waves with Maximum Possible Currents [PDF]
In the theoretical investigation of the electrical breakdown of a gas, we apply a one-dimensional, steady state, constant velocity, three component fluid model and consider the electrons to be the main element in propagation of the wave. The electron gas

Luminous pulses during triggered lightning [PDF]
A triggered lightning flash that transferred negative charge to ground in central New Mexico produced more than three levels of branching above the main channel to ground in a 1 km vertical field of view. A high‐speed video recording shows that the main channel had about 50 brief luminous pulses, many of which were superimposed on a slowly changing ...

Lightning for Energy and Material Uses: A Structured Review
The average atmospheric charge density of Earth is neutral. Charge built up from thunderstorms and lightning phenomena is offset by oceanic surface charging, and offers a source of energy that has not been harnessed broadly.
