Cloud-to-cloud Lightning Initiation

Cloud-To-Cloud Lightning Initiation is a physical phenomenon within atmospheric electrodynamics characterized by the initial development of an electrical discharge between two distinct regions of opposite charge located in separate thunderclouds, distinguished from intracloud or cloud-to-ground initiation by the intercloud propagation of the leader channel.
