英文摘要 | Isolated breakdown process (also known as attempted leader or inverted intra-cloud discharge) is a lightning phenomenon characterized by radio wave pulses similar to signatures of preliminary breakdown before negative cloud-to-ground flashes, but in this case no cloud-to-ground return strokes occur. We identified 128 isolated breakdown pulse trains in measurements collected in the Mediterranean by a broadband receiver (0.005–7 MHz) in 2015 and 2018. By combining these records with concurrent Lightning Mapping Array measurements of very high frequency radiation (60–66 MHz) emitted by in-cloud discharges we investigate the development of each discharge. We identify two scenarios: Either the discharges continue to propagate almost horizontally for more than 150 ms (73%), or they quickly fade out (27%). The geo-localized sources of the observed isolated breakdown pulse trains, together with their waveform characteristics (duration, inter-pulse intervals, regularity, and bipolar shapes) show that both scenarios are similar to initiation processes preceding negative cloud-to-ground flashes. © 2020.
