A spectral analysis is given for one discharge only (discharge in air with a copper electrode): more quantitative results, such as a spectral analysis of the other discharges also, would be helpful for the comparison between the discharges produced in the lab and the ones observed in the atmosphere.

Reply: In our preliminary studies, as well as in the papers of other authors, it was found that during pulsed discharges of short duration, the electrode material determines the composition of the vapors that evaporate from the electrodes and diffuse into the gap, including due to shock waves and turbulence.
