High-speed video observations of a lightning stepped leader (2011, methodology): “Using a photoelectric detector in Arizona, Krider [1974] measured interstep intervals from 17 to 32 ms for stepped leader pulses within 70 ms of the return stroke. Lu et al. [2008] also used the ALPS optical imaging system to record a downward branched stepped leader in Florida at an estimated dista”
On the physics of lightning (2004, background): “Thus, the experimental observations of breakdown where electrodes are present give different and more complex behavior, both for short gaps [51] and also for the very large gaps of high-voltage laboratories [16], [50].”
A simplified physical model to determine the lightning upward connecting leader inception (2006, background): “This value is based on the frame photographs of the luminous corona conic zone during the leader propagation [27].”
