I wonder if the solar storms are the reason we are having such strange lighting and rolling thunder goes on for five min
@thelightninghunter23 16 сағат бұрын
Very unlikely that the solar storms have anything to do with it. You get long rolling thunder if you have a storm complex with extensive charge structures that support very large flashes. A typical thunderstorm is just not large enough. To get large complexes, you need meteorological parameters to line up in the right way

Well, it was a little storm. The important thing here is the charge structure. In most storms, your lightning tends to be in the middle and upper part of the storm. Here, every flash produced visible leader activity below cloud base. Why did it charge this way? It's all tied to the proportions of different types of ice particles and liquid water in the portion of the storm where electrification happens.

What an amazing video!! How's your neck? I have seen the northern lights often years ago when I worked in the great white north but never have I witnessed colors like you captured. When we got up last night to watch the sky, the lights were faded whitish green but danced quite a bit and were right over our heads. Your capture pulled crystal clear hues. Thanks for sharing your sky!

This was my second time seeing it, (first was 2017,) and I feel quite privileged to say that this time was a different experience. From what I remember, the corona was less active than when I saw it in 2017, (it was a lot less wavy,) but it looked more like a ring. It was cool in a different way this time for sure.

I could actually see purplish solar flares arcing past the moon! Also the temperature drop was way more significant this time. I was just West of Cleveland OH and the temperature plummeted by about 15-20 degrees in just a few minutes! The temperature drop wasn't nearly that extreme in 2017.

Here is what I think is happening... Most of your tall towers are TV/FM towers. The transmitters themselves are on the order of 100 feet in height and are mounted on top of steel lattice towers to improve coverage. The tower in this video is an AM tower. Because the AM wavelength is much longer than FM, many AM towers are themselves transmitters. This means that they have to be isolated from ground, and those beads that you see on the guy wires, called "plinkos", act as electrical insulators. When you have a strong electric field due to a thunderstorm, electrons will concentrate towards one end of the tower, and you end up with a high electric potential across the tower. Since the guy wires are divided by insulators, they cannot respond in the same way, and you end up with a strong potential between the tower and guy wires. Lightning activity above the tower cause rapid changes in the electric field and the resultant potential across the tower. This is actually how most upward lightning is generated, as the electric potential between the tower top and air around it is high enough to cause electrical breakdown! While the lightning flashes in this video weren't enough to trigger upward lightning, it appears the same process created enough potential between the tower and guy wires to flash over the plinkos. Given that the plinkos are several feet in length and the sound level was similar to firecrackers, it tells you the level of voltages that we're dealing with!

@thelightninghunter23 6 ай бұрын
If you look at the video frame by frame, you can see that the downward leader does not branch which is indicative of a positive leader in the lower troposphere. Also, NLDN data (determines x,y positions of lightning flashes, time, polarity and peak current) detected this flash at +30kA.

@smileyking22 7 ай бұрын
Why is the Lightning strikes only that particular place repeatedly?
@thelightninghunter23 7 ай бұрын
This is a common behavior with negative CG flashes. What happens is that the positive end of the flash tends to decay and reionize. If the main bolt decays, this will cause it to flicker. Why does the same channel get used by multiple strokes? The air inside the channel gets so hot that it remains highly conductive even after current flow stops. A lot of times it's easier for negative charge to keep using the same channel than to form a new channel to ground. This is all very hard to explain in a comment. At the bottom of the description is an excellent resource to learn how lightning works... the sections "Positive and Negative Leaders Behave Differently" and "Ground Flashes" will answer the question for you... there's diagrams and video examples.

Impressive thunder. There was a lot of smooth positive bolts here in West Michigan two nights ago. I took off chasing when I really should have just stayed at my home and waited. I tried to drive southeast as the line approached, but cells formed overhead out ahead of the initial cluster and completely enveloped me. I couldn’t get away from the heavy rain and wind and recording from the car with the windows rolled up and rain and small hail pounding down didn’t work out acoustically.

I was watching that complex on radar and lightning data, and noted the predominant +CG activity. That'll happen when you have several thousand J of CAPE and steep lapse rates aloft.

Why does the entire sky (not just the clouds) tend to glow with a strike?
@thelightninghunter23 9 ай бұрын
You might be noticing the rolling shutter artifacts. Those are the horizontal bands that you see during most strikes... caused by the bright return strokes saturating the portion of the camera frame being scanned. If you can give me a timestamp in the video, I can confirm this for you.

Oh wow, thanks for responding to me! @@thelightninghunter23 One example is at 1:21. In the video I see the 3 front arcs (Let's call them A, B, and C from left to right) touching the ground with a few arcs behind these 3. Obviously this demonstrates that the light has already traveled from the lightning strike to the camera. Then we briefly see the entire sky illuminate for about 14 frames Then we see that arc A and B and the background arcs are gone and only arc C remains. Why does the whole sky illuminate for 14 frames?

@@utahwaxwing The branches that you see at the beginning are the downward leaders before they connect with the ground. Then you see the bright light. This is the return stroke, or a bright current surge that happens when lightning connects with ground. In most cases only one channel makes the connection; that was the channel that blinded the camera and was visible afterwards. Note that I'm only playing back a few frames per second in that clip. Each "step" that you see is a frame, representing 1/240th of a second. I edited the video this way specifically to showcase the leader attachment and return stroke. The next clip was filmed in 1000 frames per second, and the processes are shown in better detail.
@utahwaxwing 8 ай бұрын
@@thelightninghunter23 Thank you again. I'm trying to figure out how to best explain the next clip at 1:31, after the multi-branch touch down, why is there a flash of light for a few frames, compared to a mere wider bolt of lightning for the return surge and stroke. I suspect there's a broader surge and covers a lot more volumetric space than what's immediately surrounding the bolt - albeit a lower voltage for the broader glow.

@@utahwaxwing That's the camera sensor being saturated by the very bright return stroke. It literally overwhelms the camera.
