• Theory and Observations of Controls on Lightning Flash Size Spectra (2013, background): “…0 is the permittivity of air. a. Initial breakdown An extensive lightning channel tree begins with breakdown of the air in or near a local extremum in electric field in excess of some threshold (MacGorman et al. 1981, 2001; Maggio et al. 2005; Marshall et al. 2005; Stolzenburg et al. 2007).”
• Forecasting Lightning Threat Using Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations (2009, unknown): “…lightning forecast products that are straightforward, while avoiding the added expense and complexity of incorporating explicit cloud electrification algorithms into the models (see, e.g., Helsdon and Farley 1987; Helsdon et al. 1992; MacGorman et al. 2001; Mansell et al. 2002; Kuhlman et al. 2006).”
• Charge structure and lightning sensitivity in a simulated multicell thunderstorm (2005, methodology): “The present study uses the branched lightning discharge scheme of Mansell et al. [2002], which is capable of producing IC flashes and both polarities of CG flashes, depending on the thunderstorm charge structure.”
• Simulated three‐dimensional branched lightning in a numerical thunderstorm model (2002, background): “Similar lightning structure has been observed by several investigators, including MacGorman et al. [1981] and Shao and Krehbiel [1996].”
• Numerically Simulated Electrification and Lightning of the 29 June 2000 STEPS Supercell Storm (2006, background): “Several studies [including the above studies of (cid:1) CG flashes, as well as MacGorman et al. (2001), Gilmore and Wicker (2002), MacGorman et al. (2005), and Williams (2001)] have examined the conditions needed to produce (cid:1) CG flashes.”
