• The physics of lightning (2014, methodology): “[154] measured a minimum average velocity of about 107 m/s for the upward propagating luminosity wave following steps in natural lightning, a minimum value due to the necessary assumption that the propagation observed in a video frame took place during the full 3.”
• High-Energy Atmospheric Physics: Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes and Related Phenomena (2012, background): “High-speed video observations (Biagi et al. 2010; Hill et al. 2011) show that space stems also form for triggered lightning dart-stepped leaders and natural lightning stepped leaders, demonstrating that the space stem mechanism of propagation is similar to that in long laboratory sparks.”
