A study of X-ray emissions from thunderstorms with emphasis on subsequent strokes in natural lightning

Mallick, Shreeharsh; Rakov, V.; Dwyer, Joseph R. (2012)

X-ray emissions associated with leaders of natural cloud-to-ground lightning are examined. For 23 (8 first and 15 subsequent) strokes within 2 km of the Lightning Observatory in Gainesville, the occurrence of detectable ...
