Abstract

The paper examines the relationship between sequential events in bipolar flashes of two groups sharing the same channel to ground: one initiated by an upward positive leader, the other by a natural flash. Two quite different mechanisms are involved in the occurrence of the bipolar flashes of each group: The bipolar events that start as a natural flash are results of recoil leaders sharing parts of the initial branching structure; the bipolar events that start as upward positive leaders are the result of the interaction between these leaders' initial branching structures and the branches of the intracloud flashes they triggered.
