Leader-chasing behavior in negative artificial triggered lightning flashes

Abstract Two special cases of dart leader propagation were observed by the high-speed camera in the leader/return stroke sequences of a classical triggered lightning flash and an altitude-triggered lightning flash, respectively. Different from most of the subsequent return strokes preceded by only o...
