Dart Leader

A dart leader (also known as a continuous leader; may have been referred to by Feynman as a dark leader [citation needed]) is the cloud-to-ground movement of electrons which occurs just before a secondary lightning strike.

continuous spectrum"A spectrum in which wavelengths (and wavenumbers and frequencies) are represented by the continuum of real numbers (or a portion thereof) rather than by a discrete sequence of numbers.

Leader The streamer which initiates the first phase of each stroke of a lightning discharge. The first stroke is led by a steeped leader, which may be preceded by a pilot streamer. All subsequent strokes begin with a dart leader.
