On the other hand, we should note that with a voltage pulse duration from ones to tens of nanoseconds, the experimental conditions differ significantly from the conditions of an electrostatic discharge and the creation of a foggy environment.
A point that should be clarified is the choice of the gases used for the discharges. One would expect a comparison between discharges that happen in gas mixtures of similar composition. Is there any relationship between the specific choice of gases made by the authors and the composition of the atmosphere at the altitudes where the atmospheric discharges take place?
