CEDAR email: Lightning Physics Session at AGU24

[da Silva, Caitano]

Dear Colleagues,

Abstract submission is now open for AGU24. We would like to invite you to
submit an abstract to the *Lightning Physics* session. Details below.

*Title:* AE005 - Physics of Streamers, Leaders, and the Lightning Discharge

*Description:* Lightning is comprised of a variety of processes over a
multitude of scales including the initial breakdown stage, fast
streamer-based breakdown, leader steps, streamer zones, space stems and
space leaders, needles, recoil leaders, return strokes, and M-components.
Lightning channels promote energy exchange between plasma and neutral
atmosphere generating reactive chemical species that drive atmospheric
chemistry. In recent years, substantial instrumentation advances have been
made in optical, radio-frequency, and energetic radiation imaging of the
lightning channels' initiation, propagation, and attachment to ground
structures, as well as the return stroke and the subsequent processes
taking place inside its decaying channels. Additionally, during the next
decade the field should see an explosive growth in the development and use
of computational models of lightning and its multi-spectral emissions. We
seek abstracts on natural and laboratory observations, modeling, and
theoretical efforts dedicated to advancing our community’s understanding of
lightning physics.

*Location:* AGU24 will take place this coming December 9-13 in Washington,
DC, USA

*Submit an abstract to this session:*

*Abstract submission deadline:* Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at 23:59 Eastern
Time.

Sincerely, the *Conveners:*
Caitano da Silva, New Mexico Tech
Dongshuai Li, Technical University of Denmark
Adonis Leal, New Mexico Tech
