Title: Transition in Optical and Radio Features During the Early Development of Negative Intracloud Leader
Key Points Optical, very high frequency, and low‐frequency observations are combined to analyze the transition from upward to horizontal propagation of initial in‐cloud lightning A drop in the optical blue‐to‐red ratio indicates when the dominant illumination process changes from streamers to likely stepped leader We find for in‐cloud lightning that the upward initial leader and the horizontal stepped leader could be physically different  more » « less

    Abstract Time-correlated high-speed video and electric field change data for 139 natural, negative cloud-to-ground (CG)-lightning flashes reveal 615 return strokes (RSs) and 29 upward-illumination (UI)-type strokes. Among 121 multi-stroke flashes, 56% visibly connected to more than one ground location for either a RS or UI-type stroke. The number of separate ground-stroke connection locations per CG flash averaged 1.74, with maximum 6. This study examines the 88 subsequent strokes that involved a subsequent stepped leader (SSL), either reaching ground or intercepting a former leader to ground, in 61 flashes. Two basic modes by which these SSLs begin are described and are termed dart - then - stepped leaders herein. One inception mode occurs when a dart leader deflects from the prior main channel and begins propagating as a stepped leader to ground. In these ‘divert’ mode cases, the relevant interstroke time from the prior RS in the channel to the SSL inception from that path is long, ranging from 105 to 204 ms in four visible cases. The alternative mode of SSL inception occurs when a dart leader reaches the end of a prior unsuccessful branch—of an earlier competing dart leader, stepped leader, or initial leader—then begins advancing as a stepped leader toward ground. In this more common ‘branch’ mode (85% of visible cases), there may be no portion of the subsequent RS channel that is shared with a prior RS channel. These two inception modes, and variations among them, can occur in different subsequent strokes of the same flash.

    Abstract This review covers selected results of recent observations of lightning discharges performed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum (radiofrequency, optical, and energetic radiation) at the Lightning Observatory in Gainesville, Florida. The most important results include (a) characterization of the preliminary-breakdown, stepped-leader, and return-stroke processes in high-intensity (⩾50 kA) negative lightning discharges, (b) the first high-speed video images of bidirectional leader that made contact with the ground and produced a return stroke, (c) discovery of negative stepped leader branches colliding with the lateral surface of neighboring branches of the same leader, (d) new data on the occurrence context and properties of compact intracloud discharges, and (e) observation of a terrestrial gamma-ray flash that occurred during a bipolar cloud-to-ground lightning discharge. The results serve to improve our understanding of the physics of lightning with important implications for lightning modeling, lightning protection, and high-energy atmospheric physics studies.

    Abstract We investigate sequential processes underlying the initial development of in‐cloud lightning flashes in the form of initial breakdown pulses (IBPs) between 7.4 and 9.0 km altitudes, using a 30–250 MHz VHF interferometer. When resolved, IBPs exhibit typical stepped leader features but are notably extensive (>500 m) and infrequent (∼1 millisecond intervals). Particularly, we observed four distinct phases within an IBP stepping cycle: the emergence of VHF sources forming edge structures at previous streamer zone edges (interpreted as space stem/leader development), the fast propagation of VHF along the edge structure (interpreted as the main leader connecting the space leader), the fast extension of VHF beyond the edge structure (interpreted as fast breakdown), and a decaying corona fan. These measurements illustrate clearly the processes involved in the initial development of in‐cloud lightning flashes, evidence the conducting main leader forming, and provide insights into other processes known to occur simultaneously, such as terrestrial gamma ray flashes.

    Abstract We have studied the vertical negative leader progression features and the charge structures of 13 typical winter lightning flashes that produced downward terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes (TGFs). All these flashes started at altitudes below 1.5 km with an initial downward negative leader that propagates at a speed ranging from 1.3 to 4.5 × 106 m/s, followed by a strong negative return stroke called “energetic compact stroke” (ECS). After the ECS, usually there exists a radio quiet period lasting more than 10 ms. Interestingly, for more than half of the cases, soon after the resumed activities, an upward negative leader occurred at a position close to the lightning initiation point. Most of TGF lightning occurred under a main negative charge layer at the height of around 2 km. This negative charge layer is usually featured with a thickness of less than 2 km and a horizontal extension of more than 10 km.

    Abstract The dissonant development of positive and negative lightning leaders is a central question in atmospheric electricity. It is also the likely root cause of other reported asymmetries between positive and negative lightning flashes, including the ones regarding: stroke multiplicity, recoil activity, leader velocities, and emission of energetic radiation. In an effort to contrast lightning leaders of different polarities, we highlight the staggering differences between two rocket‐triggered lightning flashes. The flash beginning with upward positive leaders exhibits an initial continuous current stage followed by multiple sequences of dart leaders and return strokes. On the other, in its opposite‐polarity counterpart, the upward development of negative leaders is by itself the entire flash. As a result, the flash with negative leaders is faster, briefer, transfers less charge to the ground, has lower currents, and smaller spatial extent. We conclude by presenting a discussion on the three fundamental leader propagation modes.
