AbstractThe aim of this investigation is to analyze the phenomenology of positive and negative (stepped-, dart- and recoil) leaders observed in natural lightning from simultaneous high-speed video recordings and electric field measurements. For that intent we have used two different high-speed cameras (obtained by two different cameras, Red Lake Motion Scope 8000S and Photron Fastcam 512 PCI, operating at frame rates ranging from 1000 or 8000 frames per second) and two different types of electric field sensors (slow and fast) in addition to data from a lightning locating system (BrasilDat). All the instruments were GPS time synchronized in order to avoid ambiguities in the analysis and allow us to estimate the peak current of and the distance to each flash that was detected by BrasilDat. From these data it is possible to calculate the two-dimensional speed of each observed leader, allowing us to obtain its statistical distribution along with its correlation to other characteristics of the associated flash, such as return stroke peak current, interstroke interval and presence and duration of continuing current after the return stroke initiated by the leader. Also, the availability of electric field data makes it possible to correlate it to the optical characteristics of each leader type, providing us new insights on the microphysics of these phenomena. In the analyzed dataset, the speeds of positive leaders and negative dart-leaders follow a lognormal distribution at the 0.05 level (according to the Shapiro-Wilk test), while the negative steppedleaders have a similar distribution even though according to a relatively weaker test (KolmogorovSmirnov). Unfortunately, due to the range of frame rates reached by the used cameras, only the minimum propagation speeds could be estimated in the recoil leaders that were observed.
