ResumoIn the lightning literature, it is commonly assumed that the stepped-leaders that initiate the first return stroke in negative cloud-to-ground lightning flashes accelerate during the final stages of their development, but there have been only a few observational studies supporting this claim. Other studies have reported a tendency for positive leaders to accelerate and negative dart-leaders to decelerate. The aim of this investigation is to determine how the average two-dimensional (2-D) downward speed of lightning leaders changes as they approach the ground and to see if any such changes depend on the leader type, polarity, or instrumentation used to measure the speed. We have examined the optical properties of leaders that were recorded using high-speed video cameras at different sites in south and southeastern Brazil, southern Arizona, and South Dakota, in conjunction with data obtained by lightning locating systems. The GPS time-stamped cameras were operated at frame rates ranging from 1000 to 11,854 frames per second. Our dataset consisted of 46 negative steppedleaders, 53 negative dart-leaders, and 28 positive leaders. Two different approaches were used in the data analysis; first, the average downward speed of individual leaders was computed over preset distance intervals above the ground, i.e. from 0 to 500 m, 500 to 1000 m, etc, and then the geometric mean (GM) was calculated for all the cases in a given interval. We computed and compared the GMs since the speeds of positive leaders and negative dart-leaders follow a lognormal distribution (at the 0.05 level, according to the Shapiro-Wilk test), and the negative stepped-leaders have a similar distribution (according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). The GM of the positive leader speeds increases by about a factor of 10 as they get closer to the ground (i.e. from 104 to 105 m/s), and the GM speed of negative stepped-leaders varies between 2.5x105 and 3.0x105 m/s. On the other hand, the GM speed of negative dart-leaders shows a clear decrease as they approach the ground. The second approach involved analyzing the leaders individually over their measurable length, and we found that: a) 82% of the 20 positive leaders accelerated, 7% decelerated, and 11% oscillated around an average speed; b) 46% of the 46 negative stepped-leaders accelerated, 6% decelerated and 48% oscillated around an average speed; and c) 32.1% of the 53 negative dart-leaders accelerated, 54.7% decelerated, and 13.2% oscillated around an average speed. We conclude that the acceleration of negative stepped-leaders is not as strong as some authors have assumed, but the tendencies for positive leaders to accelerate and for negative dart-leaders to decelerate are clear and agree with previous studies. We believe that the presented behavior asymmetry between negative stepped- and positive leaders might suggest microphysical differences in their propagation which should be investigated further.
