Return Stroke Propagation

Return Stroke Propagation is a physical phenomenon in lightning discharge dynamics denoting the rapid upward travel of a highly conductive ionization front along a pre-ionized channel, initiated by the downward progression of a stepped leader, characterized by intense electromagnetic radiation and high current transfer from ground to cloud.
