Hallo Markus
Da hast du wohl zuletzt einen positiven CG erwischt (wahrscheinlich Anvil-To-Ground).

Table 1. Some characteristics of positive and negative cloud-to-ground flashes.

5.4 Positive flashes? Negative flashes? Huh?
The positive cloud-to-ground flash is less common than the negative. Coming from higher altitudes in the cloud, positive flashes make up about 10% of all lightning flashes. They are usually composed of a single stroke, and have longer, continuing currents (see Table 1). From the forestry perspective, positive flashes are of more concern as the longer currents are more likely to start fires.
Several studies have concentrated on the characteristics of the positive flash but results are inconclusive due to the number of observations. The percentage of positive flash appears to increase with latitude and with the height of local terrain. Also, positive flashes are more common in winter storms. The apparent cause for this is that the lower freezing level places the positive charge centre closer to the ground thus increasing the likelihood of a flash.
Positive flashes are more common in stratiform clouds while negative flashes tend to occur in areas of strong convection. Also, thunderstorms that predominantly consist of negative flashes in their early stages, often end with positive discharges as the storm matures and the anvil spreads out.
