abstract = {We use the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) to probe the
dynamics of the stepping process of negatively charged
plasma channels (negative leaders) in a lightning discharge.
We observe that at each step of a leader, multiple pulses of
vhf (30–80 MHz) radiation are emitted in short-duration
bursts (<10 μs). This is evidence for streamer
formation during corona flashes that occur with each leader
step, which has not been observed before in natural
lightning and it could help explain x-ray emission from
lightning leaders, as x rays from laboratory leaders tend to
be associated with corona flashes. Surprisingly, we find
that the stepping length is very similar to what was
observed near the ground, however with a stepping time that
is considerably larger, which as yet is not understood.
These results will help to improve lightning propagation
models, and eventually lightning protection models.},
