Rocket Triggering

Rocket Triggering is a methodological technique in atmospheric electrophysics that involves launching a small rocket trailing a grounded wire into a thundercloud to initiate a lightning discharge under controlled conditions, thereby enabling the study of lightning propagation and attachment processes.
