Return Stroke Dynamics

Return Stroke Dynamics is a physical phenomenon within cloud-to-ground lightning that characterizes the rapid, upward-propagating surge of current following the attachment of a downward leader to the ground, distinguished by its role in determining the electromagnetic fields, optical emissions, and peak currents associated with the lightning flash.
