Definition: duration (over which the threshold power is averaged) during which energy deposited by the spark accumulates in a small volume of gas around it without significant thermal dissipation

Note 1 to entry: For times shorter than the thermal initiation time the total energy deposited by the spark will determine whether or not ignition occurs. For increasingly longer times, the power or rate at which energy is deposited becomes the determining factor for ignition.
