Spontaneous Emergence of Space Stems Ahead of Negative Leaders in Lightning and Long Sparks

We investigate the emergence of space stems ahead of negative leaders. These are luminous spots that appear ahead of an advancing leader mediating the leader's stepped propagation. We show that space stems start as regions of locally depleted conductivity that form in the streamers of the coron...
