Lightning Branching

Lightning Branching is a physical phenomenon in atmospheric electricity characterized by the divergence of a lightning discharge into multiple conductive pathways within a cloud, distinguished by its fractal-like propagation dynamics and its role in the spatial distribution of charge during intra-cloud lightning events.
