Filament Induced Electric Events in Thunderstorms

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Following positive laboratory-scale experiments, we investigated the ability to trigger real-scale lightning using ionized filaments generated by ultrashort laser pulses in the atmosphere. Under thunderstorm conditions, we observed electric events synchronized with the laser pulses.
