The Plasma Structures and Networks of Channels as Components of The Sequential Mechanism of Lightning Initiation Within Thunder Clouds
The dissertation describes in detail the experimental studies of the initiation of unusual plasma formations (UPFs) in the electric field of an artificially charged aerosol cloud. These experiments, together with the latest data from the study of intracloud discharges, make it possible to construct a sequential mechanism for initiating lightning inside a thundercloud, as well as a model of compact intracloud discharges (CID/NBE).
