| Beschreibung: | Abstract On the evening of 18 August 2022, a sequence of five gigantic jets (GJs) were recorded within 7 min over an isolated coastal thunderstorm approximately 170 km to the southwest of Luoding County, Guangdong Province of China. The thunderstorm exhibited a higher −10°C isotherm altitude (500 m above average), a significant CAPE value (∼2,158 J/kg), and a combination of weak low‐level wind shear (−30 kA) negative cloud‐to‐ground (−CG) flashes, which were active prior to 19:50 UTC, disappeared approximately 10–15 min before the GJ outbreak began. Additionally, all five GJs were likely preceded by narrow bipolar events, which are typically regarded as the onset signatures of GJ parent lightning, consistent with previous observations. |
