Lightning Flash Morphology

Lightning Flash Morphology is a scientific construct that characterizes the structural and spatial configuration of a lightning discharge, distinguishing it from other electrical phenomena by detailing the geometric arrangement, branching patterns, and temporal evolution of its channels within a thunderstorm environment.
