Abstract :
Positive and negative discharges occurring in a surface dielectric barrier discharge are investigated for different altitude conditions. Fast imaging reveals the expansion of the glow zone and streamer when the altitude increases from ground level up to 9000 m which corresponds to cruising altitudes of commercial flights.
