Scientists have revealed a hidden trigger of lightning that could resolve a centuries-old weather mystery. Earth is struck by some 44 bolts of lightning each second, on average. Despite this, ...
Lightning discharges represent one of nature’s most dramatic electrical phenomena, providing a dynamic window into the complex interplay between atmospheric electrical fields and discharge processes.
At the center of this achievement is the Photoelectric Feedback Discharge model, a complex simulation tool created to describe how lightning arises from the frenzied interaction of fields and ...
