From decimeter-scale elevated ionic conductivity regions in the cloud to lightning initiation

Abstract In this work, we represent the lightning initiation scenario as a sequence of two transitions of discharge activity to progressively larger spatial scales: the first one is from small-scale avalanches to intermediate-scale streamers; and the second one is from streamers to the lightning see...
