Lightning Attachment Process

The **Lightning Attachment Process** is a physical phenomenon within the electrodynamics of thunderstorm electricity that describes the final stage of cloud-to-ground lightning propagation, wherein a downward leader connects with an upward streamer from the ground or a grounded object, thereby establishing a continuous conductive path for the return stroke.
