## AESTRACT: Comparisons are made between the effective velocities of stepped leaderstrokes to lightning flashes and to laboratory-produced sparks. Evidence is given that the low leader velocities of sparks correspond to the low lightning leader velocities when lightning strikes from one charge-cent
The development of atmospheric lightning is initiated by a 'leader' phase during which ionized channels appear in virgin air. The use of rapid cameras, the measure of fields and currents associated with the discharge allow one to compare the propagation of laboratory leaders with those of natural or
