High-speed camera observations of negative ground flashes on a millisecond-scale
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics based on high-speed camera observations of 455 flashes related to 40 thunderstorms is presented, where the Brazilian Lightning Location Network (RINDAT) was used to calculate the polarity and the distance of the flashes to the camera.

Lightning morphology and impulse charge moment change of high peak current negative strokes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed very high frequency lightning mapping observations and remote magnetic field measurements to investigate connections between lightning morphology and impulse charge moment change (iCMC) of negative cloud-to-ground (CG) strokes with high estimated peak currents.

Electrical characteristics of thunderstorms in different plateau regions of China
TL;DR: In this article, the electrical characteristics of four plateau regions with different elevations were studied based on observations from 2002 to 2006, and the occurrence of the special type was positively related to the elevation of the region, with the most frequent occurrence observed in the central Tibetan Plateau.

A GPS‐based three‐dimensional lightning mapping system: Initial observations in central New Mexico
TL;DR: In this article, a GPS-based system has been developed that accurately locates the sources of VHF radiation from lightning discharges in three spatial dimensions and time, and the observations are found to reflect the basic charge structure of electrified storms.

Laboratory studies of the charging of soft hail during ice crystal interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory investigation of electric charge transfer during the impact of vapour-grown ice crystals and supercooled water droplets upon a simulated soft-hailstone target has shown that the magnitude of the charge transferred to the riming surface when crystals separate from it is a function of temperature, crystal dimension, relative velocity, liquid water content, and impurity content of the water droplet.

An analysis of the charge structure of lightning discharges to ground
TL;DR: In this article, the sources of charge for the individual strokes of four multiple-stroke flashes to ground have been determined, using measurements of the electrostatic field change obtained at eight locations on the ground beneath the storm.
