Electromagnetic fields created by the lightning leader channel in the final jump phase

Plasma Physics 2019-09-17 v1

Abstract

The dependences between the parameters of the Lightning discharge in the leader phase and the return stroke phase are obtained. It is shown that the peak values of the electric field created by lightning are determined by the parameters of the streamer zone of the leader at the final jump phase. It is shown that a large peak value and the steepness of the lightning return stroke current are generated in the final jump phase.
