Characteristics of different charge transfer modes in upward flashes inferred from simultaneously measured currents and fields

Characteristics of different charge transfer modes in upward flashes inferred from simultaneously measured currents and fields

The authors present an analysis of different charge transfer modes during upward negative flashes. The analysis includes a total number of 94 pulses that occurred during two upward negative flashes recorded at the Säntis Tower. The pulses included 59 mixed-mode (MM) initial continuous current (ICC)...
