Lightning Shock Waves

Lightning Shock Waves is a physical phenomenon denoting the abrupt pressure disturbances in the atmosphere generated by the rapid thermal expansion of air along the lightning discharge channel, distinguishing it from other thunder-related acoustic effects through its origin in the supersonic heating of the plasma core during return strokes.
