Simulation data output used in the plasma nature of lightning channels and the resulting nonlinear resistance

Simulation data shown in "The plasma nature of lightning channels and the resulting nonlinear resistance", a paper submitted for publication in JGR by da Silva et al. [2019].

Each folder contains corresponds to a simulation case, as described below. Each file, e.g., s_1.m, corresponds to a different value of current input (all other parameters constant).

Use the Matlab script load_and_plot_data.m to load and plot the data. A sample figure output is provided (Sample_Figure_Rss_king_s_3.pdf). The eight panels in the figure show the temporal evolution of all (important) quantities inside the lightning plasma channel, allowing for a detailed inspection of the results shown in da Silva et al. [JGR, 2019].

See the file README.txt for further instructions.
