Polarity Asymmetry in Lightning Return Stroke Speed Caused by the Momentum Associated with Radiation
2021
Vernon Cooray | Gerald Cooray | Marcos Rubinstein | Farhad Rachidi
In positive lightning return strokes, the net momentum transported by the radiation field has the same direction as the momentum associated with electrons, whereas the momentum associated with electrons is in opposite direction to the momentum of radiation in negative return strokes. It is shown here that this polarity asymmetry could limit the maximum speed of positive return strokes with respect to the negative return strokes.
