A massive thank you to NSSL for the interview, and for the incredible information. NOTE: We will continue to discover larger and larger flashes as our technology improves. It is also possible we've had larger flashes in the past, but did not have the tech to detect them at that time. So, this is the largest DETECTED lightning flash on record. Love it, and thanks for watching!

@tetravega567 2 года назад

Love new discoveries about lightning, and/or the weather. I remember when they first discovered Elves, and Sprites and how some effects looks like a visualization of a drum strike. Flat horizontal shockwave with tentacles descending, like a creature from a portal. Electricity is so beautiful!

@brucebaxter6923 2 года назад

It’s 4:30 am here , I have vague memories of lightning giving off ionising radiation that can ionise the air a distance away to trigger more discharge.

@@tetravega567 I agree, there is something about the visual that’s so fascinating! Idk if you’ve ever seen or even done it but making lichtenberg wood burnings are really cool visualizations of how electricity expands out to the “easiest” path.

Being behind and under squall lines, like 200 miles behind, I've seen lightning cross the entire sky in long branches. They just fan out all across the sky. They are called anvil crawlers. No doubt this is an extreme event of the same thing. Once this was in Norman, Oklahoma, very close to the NSSL and once in Fort Worth, Texas. If you're patient you can get pictures of part of it but its huge. Can't get it all. Usually this far from the updrafts they are rare, but they are beautiful when they happen.

You'd also be interested in Upper-atmospheric lightning and Sprite lightning. These are all sorts of phenomana that we've largely only seriously studied since the 90s, so new types have been observed up to 2019 - we still don't even know the colour of that type as the camera that caught it was black and white. Gigantic jets are some of the craziest though, and they also accelerate extremely fast: On September 14, 2001, scientists at the Arecibo Observatory photographed a gigantic jet-double the height of those previously observed-reaching around 70 km (45 mi) into the atmosphere.[20] The jet was located above a thunderstorm over an ocean, and lasted under a second. The jet was initially observed to be traveling up at around 50 km/s (110,000 mph; 180,000 km/h) at a speed similar to typical lightning, increased to 160 and 270 km/s (360,000-600,000 mph; 580,000-970,000 km/h), but then split in two and sped upward with speeds of at least 2,000 km/s (4,500,000 mph; 7,200,000 km/h) to the ionosphere where it then spread out in a bright burst of light.

@Scrogan 2 года назад

The thing about weather electrostatics is that it deals with absolute levels of charge, as opposed to the relative charge you’ll get in the capacitors of a Marx generator. I don’t claim to understand absolute charge electrostatics, but it definitely opens a new door of being able to drain charge from only one side of a capacitative unit. Your guest’s explanation suggests that these capabilities allow the function of a Marx generator to be replicated without needing those diagonal resistive elements.

@jacobbosley1946 2 года назад

I studied "Tornado Alley" a long time ago. After reading jokes about how trailer parks were hit a lot I wanted to see if there was physical evidence of my hypothesis that the aluminum in the trailer parks was possibly attracting the energy of the storms and it turns out there are several mines around the states impacted by tornadoes and high winds. To go along with my aluminum ore deposits hypothesis, I think when the Earth was younger and more volcanically active lightning occuring like this might have been more common and is how the ozone layer and pressures for our comfortable atmosphere for mammals came to be after the 66 million year ago impact.

@dustinswatsons9150 2 года назад

Most of the precipitation related theories on charge generation in thunderstorms fall into one of two categories: the inductive or polarization mechanism initiated by the ambient fair-weather field, and the non-inductive mechanism connected with certain electrochemical or thermoelectric particle characteristics. This numerical study addresses the question of which mechanism gives more realistic results with regard to charge distribution and field strength and what effect a combination of the two processes produces.

Thanks. Looks like you might be spot-on in your theory. RU-vidr Gina Maria Colvin Hill made videos allegedly showing lightning reaching over 5 thousand kilometers. She displayed a map but I don't recall being able to see the source of the map / video / graphics. It was about 2 or 3 months ago and you could probably find them by video titles. I remember the presentation showed perfectly thin, straight lines, which I wondered at but never looked into further. Gina doesn't seem to have a super-high education level, but her intuition and personal research is impressive, and her videos do push thru the boundaries of our current societal paradigm.

I agree with those who believe that is was a series of smaller strikes that triggered each other. This appeared to be one big strike. No I am no expert. In the 80s while reaching on a high speed spark gap. We used very large ceramic capacitors. When one started to fail it produced a series of capacitor failures one after another. You could only see this type of failure on a speed camera. It would have been interesting to see this lightning strikes in high speed.
