In this paper, we are motivated to evaluate the existence of Initial Breakdown (IB) process in Cloud-to-Ground (CG) flashes of a tropical storm by using both broadband E-field and B-field antenna systems. It is important to note here that all previous studies were using only broadband E-field antenn...
