Hi All,
    In the 1998 Twenty third international pulsed power conference
(IEEE# 98CH36133), pages 221 to 224, there is an article titled "High
frequency breakdown characteristics of various electrode geometries in
air", by W. G. Dunbar, D. L. Schweickart, J. C. Horwath, and L. C.
Walko.  Here is a synopsis of the relevant data:

all at atmospheric pressure

frequency	voltage		electrode spacing		electrode
kHz		% of dc value	cm				configuration

370		54%			3				point/plane
370		30%			25				point/plane
0.06-110	100%			0.45				spheres/plates
0.06-995	100%			0.09				spheres/plates
500		40 kV			25				points
500		90 kV			25				plates

several references are given.
