Spatiotemporal analysis of the VHF-UHF radiation associated with lightning
Abstract
The characteristics of the VHF-UHF radiation of lightning have been investigated both on the time scale of the storm and on the time scale of the lightning discharge. A study of electromagnetic activity during the storm development was performed in conjunction with radar observations of the reflectivity and dynamics of storm clouds. The results of a detailed analysis of the radiation associated with intracloud lightning are compared with laboratory findings related to the discharge mechanism.
