Atmospheric electricity is composed of a series of electric phenomena in the atmosphere.
Significant advances in atmospheric electricity research conducted in China have been …

In this study, photographic records of natural lightning flashes obtained from high-speed
video camera observations are analyzed based on an extensive literature review. The …

We identify and investigate the intermittent propagation of upward positive and negative
leaders in rocket‐triggered lightning based on comprehensive observations of fine time …

The elongation and branching of long positive spark discharges in the laboratory and in
lightning have been attributed to the formation of thermalized channels inside a diffuse, glow …

Electric fields associated with a developing natural lightning leader are difficult to measure.
This work demonstrates a new approach to indirectly probing the electric fields in the …

A 3D low-frequency lightning mapping network with eight stations is deployed in the
SHAndong Triggering Lightning Experiment (SHATLE) in north China. The ABA (A, B double …

No observations show evidence of ionization in long air gap discharge during dark periods.
However, for the first time, weak channel illuminations are observed during the so‐called …

In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation of positive leader discharges, with
the aim of enhancing our understanding of leader decay and reactivation. Our approach …

We conducted a comprehensive observation of tower‐initiated upward lightning (UL) during
the summer season from 2012 to 2020, using high‐speed video and the Beijing Broadband …

A lightning flash striking a 325‐m tower was captured using a high‐speed camera operated
at 380 kfps and the characteristics of breakthrough phase (BTP) were recorded in two …
