Energetic Radiation from Subsequent-Stroke Leaders: The Role of Reduced Air Density in Decayed Lightning Channels
Leaders of subsequent strokes in negative cloud-to-ground lightning are known to produce X-ray/gamma-ray emissions detectable at distances of a few kilometers or less from the lightning channel. These leaders usually develop in decayed but still warm channels of preceding strokes. We computed electr...
