Scientific paper

A new method for estimating lightning leader potential is proposed, based on multi-station measurements of electric field changes during the first return stroke process in cloud-to-ground flashes. In negative stepped leaders, this method may be used to estimate step length, which is strongly dependent on leader potential; this capability is particularly important in the evaluation of the so-called ``striking distance'' in lightning protection practice.
