Marcos Rubinstein, Thomas Chaumont
2025

Abstract

This study presents the first observation of a mixed mode (MM) of charge transfer during an upward positive flash, which was initiated from the Säntis Tower in Switzerland. High‐speed camera footage, along with current and electric field measurements, revealed a downward‐propagating recoil leader connecting to the grounded current‐carrying plasma channel at a junction height of
