The physical properties of the lightning return stroke have been investigated recently by a number of scientists, who have made detailed analyses of the optical spectrum emitted by the stroke. Several different time-integrated and time-resolved spectroscopy techniques were used. Through evaluation and comparison of the resulting data, this article presents important information on such lightning stroke properties as temperature and particle densities.
