Characteristics of a Negative Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Discharge Based on Locations of VHF Radiation Sources |
Figure 3 Radiation sources of the discharge before the return stroke in the CG lightning: a electric field changes recorded by the fast and slow antenna; b VHF radiation field; c elevation versus time; d azimuth versus time; and e azimuth-elevation display. In a, B, I, and L indicate the preliminary breakdown, intermediate, and stepped leader, respectively. In e, the arrows b, i, and l indicate channels of the preliminary breakdown, intermediate, and stepped leader, respectively. |
